Train:16220-Tirupati Chamarajanagara Express (SBC-MYS)...

Loco:AJJ WAP-4
DOJ:16-03-2019

The train was scheduled to depart from KSR Bengaluru at 7:20 am. A big task awaited us , BOOKING A TAXI at 5.30 in the morning !! A tensed atmosphere settled as we anxiously willed the driver to reach quickly ! He thankfully reached at 5.50 ! We piled in the car and reached KSR Bengaluru [ Majestic ] Rly Stn. at 6.45 . Now , our train was supposed to arrive at 6.55 and I was getting nervous if I would get to spot the locomotive as our coach [ B-2 ] was supposed to be at the rear [ i.e. no chance of locomotive spotting once train departed ] ! My "FEARS" , however were proved to be unwarranted as when we came to platform no. 7 at 7 am , there was no sign of the train ! The train , hauled by a WAP-4 from ARAKKONAM ELS sedately arrived 10 mins late at 7.05 am. We quickly found our coach and to my SHOCK the SIDE LOWER I had booked SPECIFICALLY for myself , was occupied by used linen ! 😐 Then , I figured out as our SLB was on the LAST bay of the coach [ berth no. 63 ] the attendants had used it to store the blankets temporarily ! A quick glance at the neighbouring bay revealed that it was unpopulated. We rapidly shifted to that bay . The TTE too had NO PROBLEMS as that bay was destined to run empty till Mysuru. We departed around 7.25am [ 5 mins late ],we changed tracks & picked up a sedate pace of ~40 KMPH and skipped Jnana Bharati Station . Then , the WAP-4 lazily trudged into our 1st halt - NAYANDAHALLI . Departed Nayandahalli ~10 mins late and maintaining the delay , arrived into the next halt , KENGERI ! Till now , the loco pilots had touched a top speed of just 60KMPH ! Then , post departure from KGI , the loco pilots went into BEAST MODE and started blasting at 90 + KMPH !!! Hejjala was THRASHED at 90 !! Post Hejjala , we started slowing down and rolled into BIDADI , our next halt ! The sedate arrivals into RAMANAGARA and CHANNAPATNA were again,10 mins late ! Soon, the beast took over and the P4 started showing its raging form ! Wayside small stations were stormed 💥 ! After some uneventful minutes, we arrived Pandavapura 20 mins late ! We arrived at the beautiful SRIRANGAPATNA station 10 mins later! Then, after departure from Srirangapatna , P4 went savage and started blasting at 100 + KMPH to make up for the lost time [~20 mins ] !! The delay was successfully covered and I thought we would make a 10 min EARLY arrival into Mysuru , but that was not to be !!! We were halted at outer for a good 15 mins and arrived Mysuru about 10 mins late !

PS:Thanks for reading!

Unfortunately;I didn't take any pics/videos that time except for one of the Pandavapura Station.
Attaching that here :)

Posting a travel log from over 5 years ago! Wrote this a while back for something else; ignore the bad grammar and all that. Train: 16220-Tirupati Chamarajanagara Express (SBC-MYS) Loco: AJJ WAP-4 Date: 16-03-2019 So, the train was supposed to leave from KSR Bengaluru at 7:20 am. We had a big job ahead, getting a taxi at 5:30 in the morning! It was super tense as we were hoping the driver would show up fast! He rolled in at 5:50! We hopped in and got to KSR Bengaluru [Majestic] Rly Stn. by 6:45. Our train was meant to come at 6:55, and I was getting kinda worried I wouldn’t see the engine since our coach [B-2] was at the back [no way to see the engine after the train left]! But my worries were for nothing since when we got to platform 7 at 7 am, the train was totally MIA! The train, pulled by a WAP-4 from ARAKKONAM ELS, finally showed up 10 mins late at 7:05 am. We quickly found our coach, and to my shock, the SIDE LOWER I booked for myself was full of dirty sheets! Then I realized our SLB was in the last bay of the coach [berth no. 63], and the attendants had used it to stash the blankets! Checked the next bay, and it was empty. We quickly moved there. The TTE didn’t care since that bay was gonna stay empty until Mysuru. We rolled out around 7:25 am [5 mins late], switched tracks, and cruised at about 40 KMPH, skipping Jnana Bharati Station. Then the WAP-4 started moving into our first stop - NAYANDAHALLI. Left Nayandahalli about 10 mins late and kept the delay going into the next stop, KENGERI! Up to now, the drivers had only hit 60 KMPH! But after we left KGI, the drivers flipped the switch and went full beast mode, blasting past 90 + KMPH!!! Hejjala got hit hard at 90!! After that, we slowed down and rolled into BIDADI, our next stop! Arriving at RAMANAGARA and CHANNAPATNA was also about 10 mins late! Then, the beast kicked in, and the P4 showed its wild side! Small wayside stations didn’t stand a chance! After a chill while, we hit Pandavapura 20 mins late! Got to the pretty SRIRANGAPATNA station 10 mins after that! Then after leaving Srirangapatna, P4 went crazy, hitting over 100 KMPH to make up for lost time [about 20 mins]! Thought we’d come in 10 mins early to Mysuru, but nope! We got held up outside for around 15 mins and pulled into Mysuru about 10 mins late! Thanks for reading! Sadly, I didn’t snap any pics or videos back then except for one at Pandavapura Station. Here it is!
