EXPLORING VELANKANNI RAILWAY LINE : INDIAN RAILWAYS : Velankanni - Nagai on train click here
--
Once upon a time Steam Engines use to whistle past this stretch and later on the YDM's took over chugging for a decade or so ... very soon this line was closed for gauge conversion and finally opened back to traffic in 2010.
The...
more... first Express train to conquer this new BG line was the Vasco Da Gama Velankanni Weekly Express as seen in the video .
Enjoy the scenic back waters of the Velankanni Coast line as the Vasco bound weekly Express hauled by a chugging ALCo from KJM Diesel Shed chugs and beautifully curves towards Nagapatinam.
Nagappattinam - Velankanni is a 10 KM line that branches out from Nagappattinam Junction across the Coromandel Coast.
The town is home to a significant Roman Catholic shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Good Health.
