After our 30 minutes late running 17315 Vasco-da-Gama (VSG)- Velankanni (VLNK) Weekly Express with a KJM WMD- 3A in charge was put in the loop line at Tinai Ghat (TGT), I immediately ran to the door to capture a crossing that was bound to be. And to my...
more... utter delight, it was none other than the heavyweight of this route. Hauled by twin WDM- 3A "Baldies" 14038 and 14040 of Gooty (GY) shed, the 2 hours late running 18047 Howrah (HWH)/ Hyderabad Kacheguda (KCG)- Vasco-da-Gama (VSG) AMARAVATI Express rattles past us with some beautiful EMD type horn and furious smoking. Tinai Ghat is situated on SWR's Madgaon- Kulem- Dudhsagar- Londa route.
AMARAVATI follows the Howrah- Kharagpur- Bhubaneshwar- Brahmapore- Vizinagaram- Duvvada- Vijayawada- Guntur- Nandyal- Dhone- Guntakal- Hospet- Gadag- Hubli- Londa- Castle Rock- Kulem- Madgaon- Vasco route. The slip portion from Hyderabad Kacheguda gets attached at Guntakal.
