For railfans and other rail passengers alike, the presence of this band and their enthusiastic music infact took our nostaligic memories of Brindavan to the next level ! Their royal send-off as the 39 departed was a moment to cherish!!

To the left of GM is Giriraj Bissa. Next to him is the 'innerwheel' that made the entire event possible at this scale with this much visibility - Sridhar Joshi.

There were no usual tring tring announcements on that day! It was this video clip along with the happy birthday to you audio that was played in loop in all the platforms at Central. Proud moment for the entire IRFCA community! There was only one (manual) special announcement in the usual style (12639 will depart from Pf 10...) just at the time of departure at 0750 when the GM waved the green flag.

Front row visible faces, Left to Right: A random passenger, Bose(blue shirt), Nikhil Kumar (camera) - both from SBC, Sriram S, Sarabha Saaluvesh, ?, Ashwin Gandhi (he was wearing a dress for sure unlike how it apparently looks like), Aswin Kumar, yours truly, Pasruwanath Jain, Gowri Sankar and Sivakumar G (Sigo).

Wish we had a 'tag' option! The person holding the banner is Sriram Srinivasan. The smiling face on the right is Sri Venkatesh.
