Memories of MG Pandian Exp. - Madras to Kodaikkanal Rd and back (July 1992) : I couldn't have chosen a better train for my honeymoon trip - the legendary Pandian Exp. - and that too, in non-AC First Class. Unfortunately, it also happened to be my last trip on an MG train in the Madras Egmore-Kodaikkanal section. At that time, I had no clue that a devil called project unigauge was going to decimate the entire MG network in the South. Hence, this footage is very precious to me.
