Travelled in Bagmati Express from MYS-MAS. Enjoyed humming of KJM emd but no mps action till SBC. Also experienced emd going from notch 1 to highest number at gradients showing the impact of gradients on trains and struggling of loco between MYS-SBC.
Spotted a BHEL G7 at Yeliyur which was used for electric run on the next day.
110 mps observed between SBC MAS and RPM P7 easily handled the gradients.

from MYS -SBC 24 pax per coach in sleeper which rose to 100% after SBC. Lots of pax got down at MAS.
Snacks: Dosa available from local vendors which was tasty. It is wrapped in newspaper separated by a white film which contains red chutney. No sambhar. Onion vada also available. Pantry food not up to the mark. Biryani from Katpadi was very tasty and garlic pickle was also good. However, it had too much of cabbage and onion which my mother tells me to avoid.
Eunuchs​ came before SBC and MAS with SWR ones more polite than SR ones .
Weather too cold between MYS-SBC and even die hard railfan will prefer railfanning from upper berth instead of footplating. Too hot between SBC and MAS.
Airtel showed better coverage than Jio in this stretch. WiFi available at all intermediate stations . Who cares .
Bihar train but no litti chokha in the pantry.
