These were later [12/03] run on the Tambaram - Villupuram section of the mainline. On June 30, 2004, the last YAM-1 run took place, minutes after the last MG EMU service on the Chennai network reached the Tambaram station. The remaining YAM-1 locos are now at Tambaram, only occasionally energized for departmental work. One unit is [2/05] at CLW, apparently undergoing preservation work prior to being plinthed.
