Most available info on the web refer to the ill fated train as the #653 Pamban-Dhanushkodi passenger train that met with its end, while waiting to enter the Dhanushkodi station on the night of Dec 22, 1964. Posted by Manohar Natarajan on 2012 Aug 28 08:57:06 +0000 |

Before the cyclone, Madras - Dhanushkodi was the mainline and Pamban - Rameswaram was the branch line with stopping passenger trains only with the sole exception of a through train running up to Madurai Jn. In the 1955 and 1958 timetables, the two stopping passenger trains were running between Mandapam (not Pamban) and Dhanushkodi. Still, a Rameswaram - Dhanushkodi passenger train in 1964 with reversal at Pamban Jn. is not an impossibility nor is a new Pamban - Dhanushkodi passenger train.

Rameswaram - Dhanushkodi OR Pamban - Dhanushkodi OR Dhanushkodi - Pamban? The question arises again. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2012 Aug 27 03:19:18 +0000 |

Some change in plans, I guess. The loco was re-railed last night. It is now standing upright. Posted by Rajendra Aklekar on 2012 Aug 05 13:22:44 +0000 |

Rajendra has sent me updates of the status. The loco will not be retrieved. It has ended its codal life and CR has taken a decision that the loco will be cannibalized at the site. Posted by Apurva Bahadur on 2012 Jun 05 08:51:49 +0000 |
