A treasure. What I have been searching for many years! The Cochin-Madras mail. This is the first dieselized BG train in Kerala. The first diselised train in Kerala was however on the MG line at Quilon. The first regular diesel hauled train was TVC-ERS MG Venad Exp, dieselized in 1969 or so. The loco is defenitely from Erode shed. Look at the small prancing deer logo. My dad says that Madras-Cochin mail had such a livery for many years. So this must be a loco with matching livery. Can someone clarify? This train is now Trivandrum-Madras mail

solid cowcatcher for a WDM2..excellent and am curious to know the shed status at that time...
