The train gets on to the bridge. Alwaye, 2004-04-09. By Jimmy Jose.

The guard seems to be curious of my camera. The train passes by. My trainspotting session ended prematurely as I stumbled on the tracks and bruised my hand, and my eye. Alwaye, 2004-04-09. By Jimmy Jose.

The driver of this WDS-4 (Thondiarpet shed?) looks curiously at the man sitting very close to the track, reading something. The man seems to be deaf and not bothered about the loco. Ernakulam, 2004-04-03. By Jimmy Jose.

A long empty BOXC rake, behind Erode WDM 2 18484. Ernakulam, 2004-04-16. By Jimmy Jose.

I waited over an hour to catch a glimpse of the twin headed Chennai Mail. Finally it did arrive, but it was hauled by a single Ernakulam WDM 2. Poor WDM 2 was struggling with the 23 coach rake even at very low speeds. Ernakulam, 2004-04-16. By Jimmy Jos

Mail had lost more than an hour during the 4.5 hour run from TVC to ERN. The single loco must be the reason for this delay. Ernakulam, 2004-04-26. By Jimmy Jose.
