We wait for a crossing at Sengottai. It was a nice long half hour stop

Closed Box MG wagon next to what looks like a testing device for Vaccum brake equipped rakes

A view of the Break Down special rake. Wonder what so special about a Break Down.

Board on the Break Down Special rake

MG steam crane in superb condition as part of the break down special

Waiting for that crossing at Sengottai.

Finally; GOC 6168 YDM4A pulls in the Tirunelveli-Sengottai passenger

We approach Tenkasi Junction. This is where the newly laid BG line starts and goes to Madurai.

We arrive at Tenkasi Junction. After Sengottai speeds were close to 70 Kmph. Another thing i missed mentioning in aprevious photograph was the board that said 30 Kmph during day time and 28 Kmph at night for the ghat sector

We pull into Pavurchatram for a short halt

Paddy fields are all thats there on the Sengottai-Tirunelveli run. If its the romance of traveling by MG; this is it.

Well where do you think this is?

A nice rear view of my train where you can see the small glow from the guards van light

The MG Steam days saw a lot off people traveling with their shirts taken off to beat the heat. I guess this old man wants to re live the glory days. This is Kilakadaiyam
