    I used to travel on this rail route in the 60s when steam locomotives hauled the coaches. Engine changed at vpm and stopped at acharapakkam which was the watering station. Schoolboy memories. Cholan express janathaa express , boat mail, madura parcel, trivandrum fast passenger are some of my childhood wonders. Thanks for this excellent coverage. I am moved to tears to remember those simple, innocent life.

    Beautiful and those days in year 1992 this train used to start 7:30 AM from Trichy junction. Most of the people daily commute to Tanjore , Kumbakonam use this train. Students from Pondi Pushpam college, Annamalai University Chidhambaram AVC college Mayavaram enjoyed this journey. Those who wish to witness the rich fertile land in Cauvery delta should travel on this train. Excellent Vlog and great work. Keep posting.

      This train has had multiple route changes. It came about in the early 80s right after Vaigai Express was introduced and used to run up to Madurai. They used the same rolling stock as Vaigai Express and used to change names with the idea that they have two daytime super fast trains. Unfortunately, both trains were perennially late with mixups and they cut the route to Tiruchy instead of Madurai but still ran on the chord line. I see they have changed it to main line now. Fun times and chaos when it was all MG.
      They both also had special livery when they were introduced.

    This video took me to early 1970 s.
    Cholan express used to be hauled by tambaram based YAM1 loco upto villupuram and there after by YP steam locomotive based at Villupuram.
    Of course it was a 5 hour journey upto tirupadiripuliyur known as cuddalore then.
    Every thing is changed but the policeman's big pot belly.
    Thanks for the video man. I guess you made it for people like me.

    See two different mile stone numbering at Ponmalai, 401/7 seen at 1.16..57, 401/9 at 1.17.27 and continues to 402/0 and another series 337/6 at 1.17.48, 337/7 at 1.17.59 and so on. The first series are the distance from Chennai beach to these points via Cudallore main line (This train route) and second series is via Vriddachalam chord line, (the Pallavan and Vaigai Express route). See again while entering Trichy on the traction poles distance at 339/26 at 1.18.29. Distance is 340 km from Chennai Beach to trichy via Chord line.
