Today’s 1AC coach HA1/ bogie no. SR 13028 rotting with cockroaches, not cleaned right from MAS itself. It’s so bad that on board cleaning staff just cannot do much to get these pests out of this old scrap 1AC coach. Shame on SR for neglecting this train and not upgrading it to a new LHB rake.
Update: Coach heavily cleaned at BZA after so many complaints, but pests still linger around. Time to rename this train to ‘Cockroach Express’ !
Have paid 300 rs.to OBC staff as tip for the cleanup till

At this moment even the only 105 yrs old Pamban bridge is closed for train movement due to serious repair works going on. Thus trains are either cancelled between MDU-RMM or short terminated till Mandapam.
High time to build an modern bridge which connects RMM and also restore rail links to Dhanushkodi which has been severed after the 1964 cyclone. Yes, it would be wonders for tourism / business / citizens of both countries alike if this rail link is extended all the way to Talaimannar / Colombo either by ferry or a sea bridge / tunnel - A boon to both countries!!

Sir, I beg to differ but please note Pamban Bridge is NOT the Ram Sethu Bridge as it is usually confused with mythical Adam's Bridge (Ram Sethu) which lies’ much further sunken in sea off Dhanushkodi coast. It's an shallow shoal of submerged limestone rocks forming shape of a chain running all the way to Sri Lanka. There is no science or history which can ever shed light on this mystery Adam's bridge or so called RamSethu.

Throwing stones & damaging national property, that''s all we are famous for globally....most disgraceful & shameless kids. The cost of damage should be passed to the parents of these brats. We should be proud that IR & Indian manufacturing has given us a world class product and are fortunate to travel in it.....

Dadar-Madras Exp. Trip - Part 2 (July 1992) : Part 2 covers the journey from Wadi till Madras. At that time, Wadi-Renigunta was unelectrified and mostly single line, except for two double-line sections - Guntakal-Gooty and a patch near Cudappah. Be sure to enjoy the following:
- Halts at Raichur, Mantrayalam Rd, Guntakal, Gooty

Your videos are GOLD of a nearly fading era from most minds.
Golden days of IR! In the 1980's 12/MAS-DR EXP used to leave MAS at 09:15 to reach DR at lunch time....but were no trains for ADI till evening....remembering spending entire day in the waiting room at BCT....
I remember 9/10 MAILS being hauled by Steam locos sometime in late 70's..

Mani Vijay,
Think it was a GY WDM2 hauling all the way MAS-ADI & back
Yes, travelled first time during March 1979. Used to leave MSB on Tue at 06:00 to arrive ADI next day 17:30. In the early 80's IR shifted dep.point to MAS. Only 2S, 3T-SL, & PC existed. 2AC Sleeper Car introduced later in 1984.
On return left ADI
...

at 07:00 (Fri) to arrive MAS 20:00 next day on the present day 2163CR/DR-Chennai Express slot from DD.
Rerouted via BZA from 1994-95. It was IR's only few trains which existed with cushioned 3T SL classes as most were of wooden bunks. IR coach numbering designation then was just as present day UK National Rail style like A, B, C, D, etc.
Ah, those wonderful years in dear old Madras/Chennai, way back then!
