Videos from Mysore.

Most of the videos here where shot at Jayanagar, a suburb of Mysore, about 4km towards Nanjangud. Two other videos where shot 2Km north of Nanjangud. Other videos are from Mysore Jn and one near Srirangapatna. Sadly, MG operations on Mysore - Chamarajanagar section is now history! It has been converted to BG.
Shatabdi2.jpg (59022 bytes) 2008 MYS-MAS Shatabdi hauled by a KJM WDM3a seen here at a level crossing less than a KM west of Srirangapatna. You can see the train crossing first the Paschimavahini river and immediately afterwards the west Cauvery River Bridge. Srirangapatna is an island surrounded by the river Cauvery. So, the train will will again cross the Cauvery River on the east Cauvery Bridge. The road at the level crossing from where I am shooting from leads to the world famous Ranganthittu Bird Sanctuary.
