Approching Kottarakara - Another typical MG station bursting at its seems!! 2006-10-15

The little champion - The YDM-4 takes a look at the mighty ghat sections it has to climb in front of it, and thinks - this is child's play for me!! 2006-10-15

One station crowded - another serene, but each one so special!! This is Edamann and we go full speed through it!! The SM waves the green flag in the distance!! 2006-10-15

The YDM-4 starts climbing the breathtakingly beautiful ghat section towards Sengottai. 2006-10-15

One view of the rear of the rake says it all- how dense and picturesque this section is - enroute to Tirunelveli from Quilon. 2006-10-15

Tenmalai - a small station chucked away in the ghats, right out of the jungle. No words to describe the beauty of this route!!! 2006-10-15

Where am I headed to? Into a dense jungle?? The little YDM-4 wonders as we depart from Tenmalai towards Aryankavu. 2006-10-15

The breathtaking Aryankavu viaduct - with waterfalls on the left, and the road below. I was expecting this viaduct on the other side of the train - hence I had to rush to capture it at the last moment, and this was all I could manage!! Look at the scenery

Even the trucks on the road below would find this route to encounter - but for the YDM-4, this is just a day's work. Aryankavu. 2006-10-15
