Diesel beasts being shunted between the lines on the northern end.

Fresh&Juicy! Hercules MG Crane looking smart in this red-yellow livery.

The builder's plate, dating back to 1935. Under contract to S.I.R.

A lone YDM4 awaits the shunting signal to switch onto the sidings.

Ready for Refresher Course?! GOC YDM4 6351 poses next to the Railway School at VM.

Handsome beast ERS WDM2 16672 waiting for lunch...

Is it an illusion or is the WDG2 really longer than the WDM2...?

The great pair up close. Both were being refuelled.

Platmosphere at VM - This is the 195 TPTY-PDY passenger enroute to PDY.

GOC WDM2 16866 (one of the "Screamers"), pulls out of VM with 2635.

This beautiful british-era cabin at the south-end of VM was saved from destruction by converting it as the Crew-Control Centre.

On the way back to MS, we crossed the late YAM1 21914 zipping toward VM with 6713 Sethu Express.

At Tindivanam, the chief (quite a young chap)of our train (104 VM-MS passr.)had given these linesmen just a minute to unload this dismembered trolley. The assistant is recieving the caution order.

The deed is done! These proud chaps stood in attention for a snap even as the chief waves the green for departure.

The brute waits...! At Thozhuppedu, we were put on the loop to let 2605 go by.
