JagRail's video: Early Morning Trains at Arakkonam

Catch the rail action at Arakkonam from a calm early morning in early 2021, back when the entire network of the Indian Railways was seeing only Special services. Although a four point junction that facilitates train movements towards Katpadi, Renigunta, Chengalpattu and the Madras region through Vyasarpadi Cabin, the bulk of the action in this video is from the Katpadi side. The trains that feature are as follows. 02672 Coimbatore - Chennai Central Nilgiri 'Blue Mountain' Express Special (12672) 06022 Mysore - Chennai Central Kaveri Express Special (16022) 02674 Coimbatore - Chennai Central Cheran Express Special (12674) 02624 Thiruvanathapuram Central - Madras Central Mail Special (12624) 02686 Mangalore Central - Chennai Central Exp Special (12686) Arakkonam - Jolarpettai 'Workmen' Special MEMU BTPN, BOXN, BCNA Freighters carrying goods The powers that feature are a bunch of electric locos, dominated by the White Steedies - WAP7 from Erode, along with the heavy workhorses hauling freighters WAG9, WAG7, WAG5 and a nice little cameo from an Alco - Tondiarpet's Dove Deemer, WDM3A 16853R. This certainly is only an overview and you might want to watch the video for a predawn trainspotting session. Thank you for stopping by! © 2023, JagRail
