Ammi Jaan kahti thi Railfanning se bada koi dharm nhi hota or koi Railfan chhota nhi hota - Shanzil Kabir

Had my first end to end electric loco trip on 2- APR-15 on Nellai express.
TBM -> TEN , reached TEN ON 7.15 am.
No "early morning loco change" saved me from mosquito bites(SL class) in MDU, while waiting for LOCO change which takes 20 to 30 minutes).
Reached Kovilpatti at 6.05 AM and then reached TEN at 7.15 AM.

on 31-DEC-14, KK express did Kovilpatti to TEN in 45 minutes with a WDM-3D loco, no crossings, all green signals.
Return TEN -> TBM, with usual delay of ~40 minutes , reached TBM at 7.00 AM.
Enjoyed WAP-4 acceleration on crossings.
Hope completion of doubling work between Villupuram and Dindigul will greatly improve timings.
