One thing unique about this train is :
It goes in the morning at about 6:30am as MAS-Tirupati Saptagiri Exp,returns by 12 noon as Tirupati-MAS express leaves for Tirupati 15 min later as MAS-Tirupati Express and again returns to Chennai at about 9:00pm as Tirupati-MAS Saptagiri Express.

Yes. It has the WAM46P trailing behind it while going towards Tirupati (the WAM4 pushes it like a banker).On its return the WAM4 pulls it like any other train.Secondly, there is generally no loco change as the trip is only about 3 to 4 hours.

Real antique stuff. Must be sent to NRM to avoid it being ruined by anti social elements. There are some paintings on it already. Nice find anyway, Appu

Sorry, first ERS, then transferred to Erode and now, SPJ

Jimmy, all MG locos found in Gujarat, Rajasthan & Madhya Pradesh across the WR & NR MG systems are based at either Sabarmati or Phulera.

But now, all WCAM3s have this standard livery...it looks good. Some WCAM3s have the two brake connector pipes in the middle intact, & some dont.

Nice MG pics vicky.. Which sheds do these loco belong to? Sabarmati?

This loco was previously in SR. First, three consecutive locos 16457, 458 and 459 was allocated to ERS. Later, 16458 was transferred to ERS. Now, it is in SPJ!!

sure bharat,u can call me any time u want to on 01491-221972.have no idea abt the freight traffic in and around ajmer but atleast four freights pass thru nsd a day, and yes, mostly for cement

MG action at its very best! Hope it continues like this forever!
