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

Hey Neil, thanx for the info. But the Deccan Oddessey did have 2 runs; the 1st being politicians and bollywood and sporting fraternity greats, and the 2nd run had a few tourists. However, it still left a lot to be desired.

This is a truly beautiful photograph... With some people sitting on the river banks and the magnificient bridge in the background, it portrays a rural setting while showcasing the technological prowess of India.

Agreed!. That's a nice pic.. I still remember the down 6004 Mailto Hwh go slooowly over this bridge@20Kmph circa 1996, and the Corro to Mas would zip past the other road-cum-rail bridge

that is my fav LGD wap4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
