The reason why this twin WDM 2 link was taken away from ERS is funny - Being the most prestigious ERS link, the twins were used exclusively for the train, meaning they would idle the whole night. Some chief of traffic section wanted the locos for some short goods one night. ERS employees that night refused to send the locos since they were reserved for Mail. He made a big fuss on this and finally this issue came to the notice of DRM who gave a fitting reply to ERS by shifting the link to ED so that the ERS twins are "ever available" for goods. This action has really upset some ERS shed employees

This one is for Ajai Banarjee. Kollam is still Quilon for Railways, but not for the board painters

No Bizzy. This is a passenger train.

Yes Binai. This is Quilon. Watch out for a series of B&W photographs of my trip to Tirunevelli. Yes that sure is a fog lamp taken off a bus or a car.

The 6th coach looks like an AC Coach - is that what you wanted to point out - an AC coach in a passenger?

All the photos are a treat to watch.

Which shed does this belong to? The livery is similar to GTL's.

I think this bridge is closer to Ballarshah than Wardha.In fact it comes just 5-10 mins before Ballarshah and must be a good 2 hours from Wardha.
