The legendary Vaigai Express arriving at Tambaram. It is extremely hard to imagine the same train in meter gauge which then used to cruise at 110kmph (only train at that time). What is more interesting that this train was more fast in MG avatar than current BG. Runs jam-packed everyday even with 24 coaches. Only one coach has seat configuration of jan-shatabdi. Also has one coach which is half pantry & half sitting. Toilets are clean (No western toilet in any coach). Charging points available in select coaches near the door.
