The best gain from Tamil conference in CBE in June would be the day when PTJ-IGU is being used as a Goods only line and PTJ halt is removed for all Kerala trains!!! ;)

A few interesting fwds:
1. wap4 22370/2608 WFD home in 31 mins from BWT. I consider it a gift of god to travel behind this loco - S. Aravind SBC.
2. Sun news reports 2694 had loco failure near milavittan. Another 3D failure. - Dilip Krishnan (I feel a happy - yet another ED 3D has failed!!)

22001 with a small rake in pf 1

11149 ED 3D lhf/2634 - 0700 @ MSC 'B' line
22268/2662 saw being halted @ MKK 0705h 'A' line. My guess is that 2662 arrived TBM before 2634 and hence given A line and made to wait at MKK for 2634 to go first.
