The Station Kalasi, a young lad with the token across his body and COs in his hand on his way to give to the LP of the Freight which crossed us in Pimpalkuti

The Tapovan crosses the Nandigram at Limbgaon as the sun sets on a wonderful I-Day (shot by Shanx)

In the end, it was left to this rare beast to finish off our journey in style. Erode's fancy WDM3D #11121 brings us to Kanyakumari with the superfast from Egmore.

We stop here !!

Mission accomplished. Bharath drops the piece of ballast we'd brought with us, all the way from Udhampur.
