Part 2 of my blogg...
Todays RF ing at Gudur Jn.
AJJ WAG5 twins with coal load skipping Gudur jn

SMVT NTSK SF express had emergency brake and stopped there for 3-5...

minutes(as this train doesnt have halt at this station)

VSKP TPTY SPL hauled by some WAG5 loco

TATA WAP7 hauled Ernakulam Howrah antyodaya express skipping Gudur Jn slowly.

BZA WAG7 hauled Tirupati Puri express entering and departing from Gudur.

Super Bumper offlink "Marathi Maanus" KYN WAP7 hauled "Indias longest running train" Kanniyakumari Dibrugarh Vivek express patiently waits for signal clearance as route is blocked by TPTY PURI express ahead.

Finally my return train Thirukkural exp with TKD WAP7 came on time on PF1. My train taking sharp curve at Sulurpeta and final pic is some bridge construction on Bridge post sulurpeta(I think Chennai gudur tripling)?

Thats all guys..... I had really put much efforts amidst my phone being snatched or being caught by RPF. Thank you for all for viewing.....

Jab rpf ne phone le liya to ye post kese dali . Vese pakda kyu ? Unko pata nhi kya ki Railfanning krna legal h . Agar koi bada station h to Platform ticket ya travelling ticket honi chahiye . Camera allowed nhi h par phone allowed h . Or Safety ke sath train se distance rakhkar Railfanning kar sakte h koi problem nhi h

Great Great Great
A small RF ing session while having Breakfast at Govt Stanley Hospital canteen. Luckily I spotted this train but I forgot to catch which loco hauls this train. The frequency of this train can be increased if possible if slot of APSK changes from Kazipet. Post SCR this train is not getting priority and often get being overtaken by other trains. Also this train can be diverted via Thanjavur Kumbakonam Mayiladurai Cuddalore route if possible as that route doesn't have a single train to Delhi. For your views 😊

Most of tamilnadu is presently covered at midnight. It will be better if Thirukkural starts from Kanyakumari early morning.

Instead of Thirukkural express MDU-NZM TN Samparkranti can be diverted via TJ, Kumbakonam, Mayiladurai (already its counterpart 22624 Mahal express running this route)

Departure time 05:20 hours from NDLS is very comfortable for people from tamilnadu who are new to delhi and don't know the local language, and are returning in this train. It is very easy for them to reach NDLS and board this train. They can hire a taxi after midnight and reach NZM before 5am.
