Nice Click Sir.

Great Capture sir...!!!!

thanks everyone :)

so very nice and also great

Excellent clicks Amit Sir.

Thanks Guru and Aditya :)

nice capture..

Thank you :)

Nice pic sir..

Excellent snaps Amit. The rider " Taken by me.. " was redundant in my opinion. Jaise HAR DHAANAY MEIN KHANEWALE KA NAAM LIKHA HAI, snap pe hee LENE WALE KA NAAM BHI LIKHA HAI. In other words the quality of the pics is enough to reveal the identity of the photographer :)

Thanks Rohan :)

hehe.. wah!!Thanks so much for such a beautiful compliment :) :)

great

Great pics

Thanks Rail gadi,Yash :)

good pic

nice looking loco...

Thanks

Why is it named Swarna Passenger?

Marikuppam is in Kolar district famous for Gold(Swarna in Sanskrit) Fields..
most probably due to that

KGF Effect

yes WAP 4 RPM shed

Right.
At BYPL

is he one of the bro u described last week?

Nice Captures, RDB :)

YE Dono kya GUPTGU kar rahe hain

Not sure why but its very well known as Swarna pass. and it was d first pass to run from MKM to SBC

Nice pics RDB sir

=) Gold sab katham hogaya

Ek number HWH to SSPN ka hai, to woh puch raha hai, main SER ka hoon phir mere ko NER ka number kyon de diya, to Doosra WR ke JP duronto ka hai, jo keh raha hai..Aisa mat Socho...Mere bhi yahi haal hota agar main Durionto ki category mein nahin hota:-)

No buddy....its stil available bt closed mines coz of operationl purpose and its said that its harmful to d city as der might be 'air blast' if they dig more inside

Nice pic

Thankx Azar Bhai!
Happy Eid !!

Thanks G..

Please wait till its confirmed by regular bloggers, or else post a VDO or snap...

no sir. WDM2 of KJM is regular link. WAPs are offlink that too very rare.

Guest Blogger is correct ,
All MarikuPpam bound trains are on Electric locos now

Ohhh! Nice.... thanks. But will miss the alco chugging :)

Yes we will henceforth miss namma KJM locos completely on SBC- MAS line going beyond KJM shed , except for light locos

gud chitra

I really missed WAP action with MKM passengers:( Till i was there in WFD, ALCO's used to haul them though line was electrified.

Where are you now Ashok ?

Secunderabad :)

Oh moved permanently ?

YES

Neev hogiddakke idu aagiddu...Neev vapas band mele mathe haktare...LOL

i wouldnt be surprised if its hauled by WAP-7 as well. :-).. Swarna's new link is WAP1/4 - RPM-ED

Yup.. we all know that BWT express daily gets WAP 7

Vinay... BWT exp with a WAP-7 .... gets me on my nerves.. :-)

Yes dude.. Yest i travelled in that train..LGD WAP 7..
spotted last sunday also.

BWT express gets WAP-7 regularly and it looks like a time pass job for WAP-7 as it pulls this 12 coach rake easily:) Speed will be comparatively less due to more stoppages its having...

wow that fantastic.................!!!! news sir.....!! thnks alot

Gr8 news Pramod.. where did u spot that..

Our own BYPL... :-) Was driving down and it was moving out of BYPL..

Good macha very good...Our own BYPL.. Liked it

grt news sir...!!

It indeed is... Isnt it vinay.. thats where we all met for the first time...

100% true.. and also its d best to meet even in future as well..Yen heltya?

Abolutely... but we must all try other stations.... Should do it in ASK once :-)

Great news. Will check it tommorow morning as today i missed my evening walk to WFD.

sir kindly clik pics too

Yeah will try sure...

thnks sir...

hmm.. i couldnt capture the pic as i was driving in the opp direction..

"Our own BYPL". Looks like we have acquired proprietary rights over this station ever since the ADMIN KUMBH MELA there on 27th May :)

ASK good place macha..More trains pass thro ASK...we won't feel bored.. bt d only prob is that ASK only has Diesel locos n not Electric

Yes.. but believe me its a haven for WDG-4's.... but will be a great RF there...

and also it wll be a day trip.

May be from July 1st ASK-SBC pass may run on sunday. So an additional train for you guys.

sir wat abt sbc-bwt pass trains ?? wil they too run on sundays from july 1st?

Ashok Ji..neevu barbeku..neev ilde nam gaadi odalla

I dont think any BWT bound trains are extended for sunday run. Only MYS, ASK and HUP passengers were lucky to get a run on sunday.

oh ok sir...!!

ayyo naav arsikere thanka baradu kashta...yaakandre madhya Ammasandra li inlaws iradu...

na bartayidu

Maga.. disguise alli baro....

Lets see depends on so many factors...

banni sir...

Boo Hoo... so swarna has left her noisy ALCo partner for the silent WAMmiies and WAPpies:(

I would love to come too if u can permit me...

Most welcome.. Will ping you when this happens dude..

Sure you can :)

U most welcome saar :)

That would be great, thanks!

Head to Head-KJM WDM2A vs AJJ WAM4 @Bangalore East(BNCE).
#17685 KJM WDM2A lead 56508 Bangalore-Marikuppam Swarna Passanger departing BNCE after scheduled halt and from opposite direction
AJJ WAM4(Loco number??) lead Arakkonam -- Bangalore Passenger/56261.
Despite being in such a good speed,the Wammi lead passenger stopped here smoothly.You can hear us discussing the same at end of video :)
Both trains were bang on time.

Nice, I see a AC coach attached behind the WAM of AJJ passs , how did it get a AC

Great Amit bhai... yaadein taaza ho gayi.

Sahi kha bhai.it was a super crossing...

Nice!!

very nice :)

I never 4get this train in my life....

MArikuppam pass?? why sir?

swana Exp. during 1994 incident....blocking 2608 by this train passengers @ BWT for 3 hrs..4 not allowing 2608 to lv starved w/o food A/c, traveled in A/c CC @ that time it had only 1 ACC

Oh-Lalbagh used to skip BWT then and people protested to stop

No on that fate ful day. d swarna exp was made 2 halt on BWT for crossings of Tiruchi train / Kanyakumari . So When they saw 2608 arrving @ BWT, they squatted on tracks and started agittating

oh ok-it was a single track then

S single line btwn WFD to KPN

hmm!!

Nice VDO bhai..

Heading to its next stop BNC...

Entering BNC..
