Oil fired steam locomotive (X-Class 37386) plinthed inside Udhagamandalam (UAM) railway station premises. Felt really excited to watch these oldies for the first time 😍 Three attempts in the last 12 years to travel behind a steam locomotive and failed 😔 As I don't want to lose an opportunity, reserved tickets for round trip this time, of which onward one got cancelled due to incessant rains in and around Nilgiris district. I was really disappointed because of this and afraid that my return ticket would also get cancelled. To my surprise, the return one wasn't cancelled and there was no limits for my joy 😍 Here are some of the snaps I've taken during my journey from UAM to MTP (Betta Queen X-37397 took charge at Coonoor 😍). Ticked off an important item from my bucket list 🥳❤️
