And while returning by MAQ-MS after two days, my coach was just 4th from the GOC WDP4B 40064( SHF mode).

Is it? Why doesnt it get clearance? The track renewal is still going on in 4th line. On Friday,12635 was hauled by 30408 and was running on 3rd or reverse line. Still all trains are using 3rd line. Meanwhile on the EMU line towards MS,they have imposed TSR near Chromepet but the line is open for EMU traffic at lower speeds.
