Was tough for a Sleeper class ticket for any MAS bound train from Mumbai at a short notice, so I would use 6339 or 7493 Tirupati to get an easy reservation DR-RU, then travel RU-MAS unreserved on 6011!

This is the 6339 Nagercoil Express waiting for the third line to clear for its climb at Palasdhari.

Brings back pleasant memories of seeing this picture in one of the first websites by an IRFCA member to showcase these beauties - The Indian Train Gallery by our very own Sundar'nut' - http://www.irfca.org/~sundar/index1.html

I can vividly recall my surprise on finding the EMU peek out behind my train when I took this picture in mid '98. Thanks for sharing this!
