The semaphore signal is at Clear now. The passenger is ready to roll. 2007-08-16 Nilambur Rd. Ranganath Eunny

General Scenes: My ticket from Nilambur to Shoranur. A standard card ticket with a surprisingly neat print. Rs. 14 of excellent entertainment! 2007-8-16 Ranganath Eunny

Pulanur - Tenkasi: An abandoned station at Kottarakkara on the Kollam-Pulanur section that is undergoing a gauge conversion. I had travelled by auto rickshaw all the way to Punalur from Kollam so that I could observe this section more closely. Kottarakkar

Pulanur - Tenkasi: Thanks to the curvaceous nature of this line with hardly a straight section, the journey was an exciting experience also due to the exciting landscape of plantation and natural forests around. 2006-08-17 Pulanur Ranganath Eunny

Pulanur - Tenkasi: Half of the route had this design on the seamphore signals. The standard design on the swing arm on other parts of IR is white with a red band. This one seems to be an older installation that was not changed. 2006-08-17 Edamann Ranganat
