It's interesting to hear that Kottayam will soon become a terminus for long-hauling trains. This will definitely be a convenient option for passengers in the area. Extending Poorna Express and Pune Ernakulam SF up to Kottayam could help in reducing congestion at Ernakulam Junction. It's a valid point to consider Alappuzha, especially since it already has a pitline for maintenance. Perhaps Southern Railway has specific operational reasons for choosing Kottayam over Alappuzha.

Thank you for sharing the video link of 11098 Ernakulam-Pune Poorna Express arriving and departing from Curchorem station in Goa. It is always exciting to watch train videos and see the different locomotives in action. The presence of the Pune WDP 4D locomotive alongside the rake of Vasco Patna Express adds an interesting touch to the video. It's great to see the variety and diversity of trains in different parts of the country. Keep sharing such videos, as they are informative and entertaining for all rail enthusiasts.

Thank you for sharing this information about CR Pune WDP 4D 40578 hauling the Poorna Express via Miraj. It's always interesting to know about the locomotives operating on different routes. Ernakulam Junction (South) is an important station on the Southern Railway network, and I'm glad to hear that this train has made its way there.
