White in greenery

Snow white

Only time when a WAP-7 looks beautiful is, when it is out of the manufacturing unit or right after periodical overhauling

Climbing with ease

First shot of 2021

After a gap of 10 months, first trainspotting session was of mixed feelings as I clicked VANCHINAD Express with ERNAKULAM WDP-4D

Favorite shed

WAP-4 from ERODE shed was my favorite electric loco as they were reliable with less failure and hauled many long distance trains

First time spotting

Once only held ALCos, ERNAKULAM shed, now holds WDP-4D locos and spotted for first time its WDP-4D with VANCHINAD Express

39000 hunt over

First WAP-7 of 39XXX series from Diesel-Loco Modernisation Works was elusive to my cam for almost an year but finally captured it

A prefect morning

Lush green background, blue water and perfect light on a cool winter morning was perfect for capturing Vanchinad Express over Paravur lake

A rare sight

A rare sight to see Vanchinad Express ripping through Pettah station as most trains wait here for clearance to enter T'puram Central
