Island and CAPE-MS are recently running with 22 coaches after adding one 3AC economy class.

Have seen the Pearl City rake getting parked somewhere between Kodambakkam and Pallavaram from morning to evening. CAPE Exp is stabled mostly in MS itself.

If this also gets an extra 3AC its likely all three have RSA. Let's see.

Pearl City is an independent rake now. Only 12633/34 and 16525/26 have RSA.

3 trains cannot have RSA as Total cycle is 4500km from Tuticorin MAS Kanyakumari SBC and back. Not possible even with SM at SBC as round trip will exceed 4000km PM cycle limit for a rake. Pearl city will run independently.

Rake Standardization effect at Depot, Under Rake Standardization any train can take the rake as long as composition matches, but it wiil not mean that it will have a Sharing arrangement

Train coach composition changed: Having similar coach composition in today's departure like Kanyakumari and Island SF express only up to S7 so I assume all three trains (Island, CAPE SF, and Island exp has RSA) with one another?
