Chennai-Alappuzha express powered by Royapuram WAP 7

Clean WAP-7

During rainy season, it is a rarity to spot clean WAP-7 loco but was lucky to spot on with Chennai Superfast Express rushing to Thiruvananthapuram

Train that lost its sheen

Once a fast train in the section, lost its speed and promptness with extra stops & speed regulation, struggling to keep the schedule

Well lighted afternoon

During monsoon season such scene is a rarity, a white loco in lush green surroundings under a clear blue sky
