The three lines!

Three back to back trips to cover the three major lines out of Bangalore - The Mysore, Chennai and Hubli lines by railfans Kunal Doddanavar, Santosh Kulkarni, Pawan Koppa and Shishir Jairam. The trip covered the newly doubled portions of the Mysore line (Hanakere and Nidaghatta near Mandya/Maddur), Maralahalli and Tyakal on the Chennai line and Bhairanayakanahalli in the Bangalore-Tumkur section on the Hubli line.
