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.

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.

In any case the caption on the picture are comments of the photographer/news agency who should know better as they were there.

Fantastic album! Great effort by you all to take time out and do this trip. The experience would be really rewarding I am sure! Keep up the good work :-)
