Very Nice.👍
Yesterday, on a heavily rainy evening, after coming back from COVID test, I had taken 2 snaps of 2 different locos from the shelter of PF 1, which visited Kanchipuram after a very long time. (Right now, there is not even a single passenger train that touches Kanchipuram. Hence, I hardly get to spot locos nowadays)

Pic 1: LGD WAG-9H 31618 was standing at PF-1.

Pic 2: AJJ WAP-4 22775 was standing at PF-3. (Due to the heavy rains, you can see the platform full of water, as it unsheltered)

Unfortunately, as the RPF personnel were present, I couldn't take close snaps, and was restricted to 1 snap per loco.

Superb Pics Bhai Karthik. 👍
3 in 1 railfanning done today at Kanchipuram Station. And this will be my farewell for the next 90-120 days.

i) Kanchipuram-Chennai Beach Workmen Special EMU was standing at PF-1 (to depart tomorrow morning towards Chennai Beach).

ii)...
more...
Return train Nagercoil-Mumbai CSMT (via Renigunta) COVID-19 Special arrived 10 mins Early at PF-2, and halted for nearly 10 mins. So I could capture the bogies more clearly (which I couldn't do properly yesterday). However, as the loco link WAP-7 was very dirty & dusty, loco number & shed were not visible on capture.
Coming to its occupancy, the non-AC bogies had more or less occupants like yesterday, but the AC bogies witnessed a significant rise in travellers.

iii) As soon as Nagercoil-CSMT train departed, goods train hauled by TKD WAG-9 32705 arrived at same PF-2. Again as the loco was too far away from the edge of platform in pitch darkness, I couldn't capture it.
