JagRail's video: Inaugural Run of Chennai Egmore - Kollam Express FDFR

Watch a Regular Express train in the TSI-QLN line after 19 years, on its Inaugural run from MS. Though this might give pleasant memories as a restoration of the erstwhile Quilon Mail, the original numbers 6105/06 have been lost to Chendur Express. So now this in turn has taken 16101/02 which was with Boat Mail for a long time ! SR could have spared those numbers, also there are lot of other options available. 16101/02 Chennai Egmore - Kollam Jn. - Chennai Egmore Express is a daily express train operated by the Southern Railway via the Chord line-MDU-VPT-TSI-QLN stretch with CBC ICF rake. Only a total of 14 coaches [2x 3A, 8x SL, 2x GEN, 2x SLRD] are allocated due to Ghat restrictions. 16101 covers 761 km in 15h 45 min with an average speed of 48 km/hr with 21 halts. 04MAR19 (Monday)
