No Manish, the Delhi Ahemdabad Mail too is double headed. But this is Ashram as both UP and Down mails reach Delhi Cantt when it is still dark ie roughly around 1125 pm and 5 am or so.

one gets an idea how the line was laid

heavenly

majestic

Parasuram does not get a WDM2C. I guess you are referring to the Venad Express that gets a WDM2C. It is rare to see an ERS loco hauling Parasuram. It mostly gets hauled by Erode Locomotives.

well my doubt has been answered but parasuram usually gets an erode wdm2c.. good to see parasu with a neat ERS power.

Hi Nikhil, sometime back, Parasuram used to take ALLP route every sunday. But, 16th Jan was not one. Even now, since testing of the electrical line is going on in the KTYM route, trains get diverted on pre mentioned days through ALLP route very frequently. I think this was one such day. I think you would have noticed that Parasuram has the worst and dirtiest rake in SR. Some GS are from the 80XXX series, with 3 + 2 arrangement

Hello Jimmy, yes .. it is the Parasuram express, and you are correct, I did not see this train name listed in the station charts and was in fact curious as to how it arrived there. You answered that question. Thanks !

Hi Nikhil, are you sure this is Parasuram Exp? Parasuram takes the Kottayam route and not Alleppey route. But, when there is a problem in KTYM route, trains do take Alleppey route and this is very common

well is the red colour different from the usual LGD orange-red or is it due to the lighting ? looks like the colour is magenta
