Short Summary of my trip to Mysore..
The pic is of Yeshvanthpur Ernakulam Special with Itarsi WAM4
I reached early at yeshvanthpur at around 8.50 am and bought ticket and entered.. Garib Rath was stationed... It was secundrabad yeshvanthpur Garib Rath.. 16 coaches. seating/Sleeping 1-78..
Next a special train which was launched today i.e. Yeshvanthpur- Ernakulam Special came to platform.. There were not...
more... so many people for that train. It left around 9.15 am with Itarsi WAM4.
Next the Prestigious tourist train of Karnataka The Golden Chariot was welcomed to platform no 6 with huge applause by people who were waiting for Howrah Duronto i suppose.. Man it was damn awesome train... No words to describe it..
Then announcement was made for 16536 Gol Gumbaz express from Solapur to Yeshvanthpur.. As usual it came in with WDP4B monster beast..
My train left at 10.15 am 5 mins late from Ypr and reached bangalore city bang on time at 10.25... The beast really roars a lot...
Then it was passing by all stations stopping for 1 or 2 mins... Then it came to halt at Maddur..
Here it was announced that it would stop in Maddur for 20 -25 mins for crossing.. On the other side another WDP4 monster led Tippu express which was bound to mysore came and halted.. There were vendors trying to sell everything from groundnut to rice bath
Then most awaited moment came.. My favourite train 12007 Shatabdi Express again led by Monster beast WDP4 came honking madly and crossed maddur with speed around 65 i guess...
Then Tippu express left and soon our train also left.... Soon it started to enter Mysore and stopped outside for about 15-20 mins for crossing of Rajya Rani Express and clearance..
It entered pf 3 at 1.55 pm late by 10 mins..
The mysore Bangalore passenger was standing on pf 2 and Shatabdi with roaring WDP4 and generator car at pf1..
The saddest moment was to see Shatabdi express with broken window panes except coach c1,c2 and E1...
