WAP1-hauled Rajdhani meets WAP1-hauled Tamilnadu at Itarsi (Aug. 1995) : My wife and I were traveling by the Trivandrum Rajdhani from Nizamuddin to Chennai. I was looking forward to the Itarsi skip and was somewhat peeved that my train had a technical halt there. As compensation, we were greeted by the mighty Tamilnadu which also had a technical halt at the station. Most of its coaches still had the cream-brown livery. Note the pleasant two-tone horn of the Shatabdi-liveried loco which is in charge of our train.

Re# 895798-13               Past Edits
This is very much August 1995. How can I forget this year? It was a golden year of IR travel for me. Was in India for almost two months and made a total of 13 IR trips including three footplates - Bhopal Shatabdi, WCM2 loco from Bombay to Pune and back - and three Rajdhani trips - Bombay, AK, TVC. Also a trip on the double-decker Sinhagad. All captured on video :-)

Not hurt at all ... after all, it's a very valid question. Looks like the '99' doesn't really refer to the year then. Could it refer to some batch number?

Maybe, I am not sure what does that 99' mean on the coaches.
It cannot be the year for 2 reasons.
1. You have personally traveled in it in 95.
2. Had it been 99, there should be a 3AC coach with blue colored coaches. TN and GT 3A coaches at the fag end of 95.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
