Nice catch. Matching rakes with the lovely WAM4 livery. One of the best WAM4 looking liveries. WAM4 giving mean looks. Looking at the rakes makes me remember the days when trains like Udyan, Tamil Nadu used to have similar green and yellow colour SLR rakes in the mid 1980's.

@vivek,
The caption says its tirupati bound! thereby its being pulled!,
In the distance one can see the curve and gradient(after exiting BBQ) just before Vyasarpadi jiva.
This service has just left MAS.
Or i maybe wrong since there is a "proceed" upfront. and harish is taken it from the Rear end.

lovely capture :)
The train is pushed to RU.From RU this WAM4 will pull the train to TPTY.(hence bound to TPTY).Seen in the cabin are Gaurd(lucky fellow,L) and Assistant pilot(to monitor loco,R).

Did anyone notice the humanoid logo on the loco ?!

Look which panto is up! Even that is a giveaway that the loco is PUSHING the train rather then PULLING it. After all, it's not winter yet in MAS requiring the locos to run on front pantos.

Thank God, they have preserved the uniformity of the livery. Note the JS-type coach. Is that an AC chair car?

Nice shot!

@Jimmy,

Yes, that is the AC Chair car. There are a couple of other AC chair cars (with normal windows) in that livery and one occassionally gets to see them on the Brindavan Express.

@Karan,
The concept of 'winter' as we know it, does not exist in Chennai! ;-)
