Great 👍👍👍 Nice Nice Superb Pics, Bhai Karthik.👍
Finally, train num 06351 Mumbai CSMT - Nagercoil (via Renigunta) became the 1st COVID special train to touch Kanchipuram! 😀
This train was hauled by TKD WAP-7 39042, and arrived at PF-2 today at Kanchipuram.
However, due to the late arrival at 7:11 p.m., its 2 mins halt was reduced to a mere 1 min, and departed at 7:12 p.m. itself. Hence, my clarity of pics (especially the ones of Pantry car & SL class at the end) were not very clear. Because by the time I reached B2, the train already departed.

Due to this, I could not completely capture all the bogies of train.
However I'm quite elated to capture the 1st COVID special at Kanchipuram 😊

Coming to the occupancy, non-AC bogies of this train had a decent crowd, while the AC classes had too limited people travelling in them (not even 50% of the seats filled) .

Apart from this, I also captured the small SB's at PF 1 & 2, and also the unique exclusive depictions of Kamakshi Amman & Shankaracharya on the walls of PF-1 of the railway station.

👍 Very nice Karthik Bhai.👍 AJJ WAP 1 is a pride Nice👍😊
AJJ WAP-1 is love!
I was waiting for this day to put these pics because today is the 1st anniversary of these pics, that were captured by me before going to my college, on 21st August 2019. I even made the share autorickshaw driver wait for a minute, so that I could get a perfect capture 😁.
Arakkonam-Chengalpattu Passenger was departing Kanchipuram, towards its next station Kanchipuram East.

train was hauled by legendary grandpa AJJ WAP-1 (now transferred to Erode loco shed).
It was literally a delight for me to see this loco because Arakkonam-Chengalpattu passenger was usually hauled by RPM WAP-7 or AJJ WAP-4. The WAP-1 link was rare.
Sadly that was the 3rd last time that I noticed this loco at Kanchipuram, the last being on December 2019 (which I unfortunately couldn't capture). But these wonderful memories are still fresh in my mind!
