Excellent journey❤
More informative and interesting. Perhaps you are the only vlogger showing sub-titles.
Another nice vlog. Thank you!
Good narration!
Dear Mr. Binai Sankar, I must thank you for that you have given me a chance to see the video of Journey from
Vridhachalam to Chennai Egmore by Pallavan Express/Vaigai Express because while it existed from Vridhachalam
junction just within one KM I could see my mothers* burial ground on the right side (1989). I record here my
sincere thanks. K. Rathakrishnan,
The first bridge is Kedilam river and the second ofcourse in Then Pennai.
Nice pfp❤❤
Egmore station in its metre guage avatar has been shot in many movies, including the famous chiku bukku chikku bukr raile from Gentleman
Visiting a channel after a few months gap... I got busy with some personal work. Gonna watch all the upcoming videos daily...
Btw do you still remember me?
❤
Welcome back!
I will never forget Vriddhachalam Jn station. During my NGP to MDU trip in Anuvrat Express, the lunch at Villupuram Jn was not delivered and I got a superb curd rice at Vriddhachalam Jn. I was damn hungry too . One of the best curd rice I had ...
VRI serves the best food on that route. Undoubtedly the best.
From what I remember, that tomato soup is a specialty of the Vaigai and Pallavan routes; at least, it used to be so in the 80s. As a child, I was a regular on the Vaigai Express route and would really look forward to the hot soup served around 6pm near Tiruchi :-) Thanks for the video and the nostalgia!
I am really happy I could rekindle your nostalgia! The tomato soup was really awesome!
10:31 Thenpennai river bridge. (Thenpennai is one river u would have crossed umpteen times without realising - on ur Bengaluru - kerala trips). First after those motels where buses stop near kuruparapalli (before Krishnagiri),and then near kaveripatnam soon after Krishnagiri towards dharmapuri. The river gets wider with tributeries althrough
14:51 , If Inside Chord line , Definitely Madurai Vizhuppuram Intercity Express..
Most Peaceful train inside chord ( fully empty on weekdays , full patronage on weekends , Mukurtha days, Festivals )
VM MDU will be Terribly crowded
The journey is fantastic as always but as you said in this video that flat wheel damage rails so why don't they change the flat wheel.. I just gotta know that the rail gets damaged due to a flat wheel
About LHB wheels and their ubiquitous flat-spots: What I've heard is this - they are disc-brakes but lack ABS, so many wheels frequently lock up during braking, leading to the formation of a flat spot that grinds against the rails while being locked. ICF wheels don't tend to lock up as often (presumably because their rim-brakes aren't powerful enough to completely lock them up as part of regular braking effort).
I wonder how much of this can be solved by calibrating brake pressure better for LHB rakes vs. ICF rakes.
First bridge was Gedilam River which drains into Bay of Bengal at Cuddalore.
Second indeed was Then Pennai which drains into the sea between Pondy and Cuddalore.
The third bridge after Villupuram was either Varaga or Gingee river.
Wonderful Compilation
Nicely covered and explained
Parangimalai means white people’s hillock. Parangi is a sort of Tamil translation for Pumpkin. White people were called Parangi as their skin looked like pumpkin’s skin.
Just a random info a special train has been announced in kkdi mas route on this monday
Heard you pointing out in one of your videos that you wish to explore rpm mas stretch when a train operates in that route
I think it's been an year after they have operated a passenger service in this route
Excellent Mr Sankar. U r prompt with yr video on Wednesday. Keep it up.
Nice. Keep going ❤❤
Tambaram is the Chennai version of Navi Mumbai
Poor analogy. Navi Mumbai is a properly planned city, while Tambaram is a suburb

9:25 Geddilam bridge. I always felt the Geddilam bridge on the mainline was the longest in this part of the state (as a kid). Probably the riverbed gets wider towards the east. The Geddilam bridge on the mainline was the typical zigzag girder bridge in MG days. I don't remember it's structure in the chord line
Nice vdoo❤️❤️Sir.. Manglore banglore shiradi ghat vlog share cheyyaamo... Athm vistadome coachil 😁..

@@Platform7byBinaiSankar ok.. Waiting for that vdo❤️
Another question, how did you know while leaving Vriddhachalam that the down line had a block? was there some communciation?
👍
Binai, please explain Flat wheel and the other wheel and what is the difference in construct and riding experience.
Flat wheel is an abnormality - not a type of wheel.
First comment 🎉
Sir is there any problem if trains run on flat wheel for long? Like chances of derailment
Increases damage to the rail. The railways has acceptable limits for flat wheels - all wheels undergo periodical inspection and when found unfit, they are ground/replaced
Is your next trip on the MS - TEN Vande Bharat Binai Sir.
MS-TEN VB was not even operational on the date of this journey.
