Look at the MG vestebule of the Rameswaram Exp. The train has 2A, FC, SL and II classes

Nagore Exp still has a composite 1A-2A coach. This is the 2A side.

This is the 1A side. The coach is classified as WGFACCW and belong to Madurai Division

The crane is very small and cute, like the YAM 1's. It's capacity is just 2 tons

Thankfully, MG is alive and kicking in Tambaram. The BG train that you see in the distance is the Pallavan Exp hauled by an Arakkonam WAM 4 21255 approaching Tambaram

Peeping in between the MG wagon and YDM 4 to see the WAM 4 that hauled Pallavan

YDM 4 6150 wait proudly at the head of Tambaram-Villupuram-Tiruvannamalai Passenger

A blue Vaccum Braked MG SLR in the Tambaram-Villupuram Passenger. Does the railways like the BG coaches so much as to mimic MG as BG coaches? YDM 4 6283 is waiting at head of historical 6701 "Boat Mail" (Tambaram-Rameswaram Exp)

New rulers of Tambaram - YDM 4's wait impatiently like horses readying for the night battle and the BG EMU peeping from the distance

YAM 1's cute little Bo-Bo bogies. So very different from the BG electric Co-Co's
