Coast to Coast - a trip from MAS to MAQ and back. By Sridhar Joshi
The rather spacious corridor of FC of 1990 vintage, as most of them on SR are.
This is one for the Wammie lovers. At AJJ, ready to leave light with another of its kind towards MAS
A Permanent Speed Restriction of 100, as we enter Walajah Road. A rarity, considering that the top speed is only 110.
That was the first line in the South. The unused line to Arcot veering away after Walajah Road.
The line to Vellore veers away just after Katapdi......
....and will cross over the main line a couple of kms later here.
An agonising run on the wrong side of the double line between Latteri and Kavanur.
A bridge that will be used for passenger traffic from 8th Dec. Just outside MAQ on the line towards Bangalore
Re-christening in progress at Mangalore.
The mating act nears....for this loco and our 2602.
Notice the gap between the near buffers of loco and coach. PF 1 at MAQ is on a curve.
A GOC loco waits for orders.
B3 through B2. View of B3 of Matsyagandha through the tinted glass of B2 of our 2602.
Current time and the next stoppage on this GPS indicator inside the 3A coaches of 2602.
We join the line coming in from Kankanadi (now Mangalore Junction) at the Netravathi Cabin.
Bidding goodbye to Kannur, and the Kannur YPR Express.
The clearest of them all. Some say FM, some FP, some are just plain boards. Kannur says it the loudest - Fouling Mark!
