In the early Part of 2020, before Covid hit us with full force, I went on a trip to Thoothukudi on some work. The only daily train that connected Bengaluru & Thoothukudi is the 16236 Mysuru - Thoothukudi Express. Of course, I boarded it on a Saturday, so I also had the option of an end to end Diesel hauled journey on board the Vivek Express from Okha.

But, due to some personal commitments, I could only take the Mysuru Express. It came from Mysuru hauled by twin ALCos from Erode.

At Erode Jn., some time in the wee hours of Sunday morning, we underwent a reversal; and a WAP-4 took over. The rest of the Journey followed the morning vistas from South Tamilnadu. This was also my first ever trip to any place beyond Madurai. Hope you enjoy the views.
