As the day fades

NETRAVATI Express slowly moves out of Kayankulam Jn after scheduled halt with ERODE WAP-4 as day slowly fades

Through country side

ERNAD Express powered by ERODE WAP-4 slowing down as the signal was in amber since the section was not clear to proceed ahead

Curvy station

Edava station, a curvy station in the village of Edava, where MEMU and local passenger trains have halt is one my favorite trainspotting spot

Enjoying the view

Many passengers including me come to the doors to enjoy the breathtaking view of Nila river as the train slowly rolls over the bridge

Another ALCo power lost

Once powered by ERODE WDM-3D/3A, now the power changed to ERODE WDP-4D after up-gradation to UTKRISHT Express

Clean train

Past one year this train was so dirty due to poor maintenance but sustained effort by many regular passengers including me, now it is clean train

A prefect morning

Lush green background, blue water and perfect light on a cool winter morning was perfect for capturing Vanchinad Express over Paravur lake

Chase for 30333 over

Fancy number WAP-7 locos 30333/444/555 rarely come before my cam but got lucky with WAP-7 30333 recently with MALABAR Express

Hazy afternoon

Faded sunlight on a hazy afternoon could not diminish beauty of ERNAKULAM WDM-3A pair as they rip past me with VENAD Express

Clean WAP-7

Due to white color, spotting a clean WAP-7 is a rarity but sometimes get lucky and evening light with clear sky makes it more beautiful

Shining RED worhorse

Fresh from overhaul, ERODE WAP-4 leading Thiruvananthapuram Central bound NETRAVATI Express through Karakad towards Shoranur Jn

Lucky day

I have been always unlucky when spotting freight train but this day I was lucky to spot petcoke freight with dual PONMALAI WDG-4

Dual WDM-3D

Usually WDM-3A locos are paired but this DURONTO Express has WDM-3D pair mostly which is a bit of excess power for this small consist

Mid-mount headlamp WAP-4

One of few WAP-4s with mid-mount headlamp that gives a different look but was discontinued in other WAP-4s and made roof top

ALCo in evening light

As the day slowly slips to drakness, RATLAM WDM-3A rolls over the bridge with Madgaon Jn Express towards Shoranur Jn
