Hey Pawan. The line officially starts just after the Ernakulam Town-Kottayam line bifurcates from main line. But the line is not used there. This marker is situated there. The line is used fully after Ernakulam Marshalling Yard. These lines look unused but are defenitely used. This line bends sharply to left just before Trippunittura

That's the TKD logo!

The logo in between the windscreens more or less looks like that of GOC's! Can anyone clarify?

More or less, similar to Ratlam's WDMx livery.

WDP3A looks really nice in it's new paint scheme. Sometimes experimenting new paint designs are really healthy. In case if they are not nice, then these locos can once be brought back to their original livery.

Jimmy, do these lines run all the way upto KRL? Where do they start from..Tripunithura? When I used to travel towards FACT in Ambalamedu, I only used to see some unused rusting lines next to KRL. I didn't know if there were some other newly laid lines up to KRL.

Is something flying in front of the flasher light? Any bird or some dust?

Am not a big fan of this livery design except for the colours chosen. However it is nice to see that a shed (in this case TKD) is celebrating 10 years of a locomotive design. It only gives me hope that the same respect will be given to these machines when the time comes to phase them out.

Much more beautiful than the Taj Mahal!!

Yeah, a red-blue combination like this is the worst combination to use, and is unpleasant for the eyes.
