#GudiyathamShivamoggaTraveloguePlease imagine like you are travelling and feel the humming and honking EMD Monster :)
We deboarded from Shesadri Express and took lift to go to pf 9. As i want to go to front i asked my mom, that we shall go front, but my mom refused as we are in last. Going from last to front with that is very difficult. But i took all big luggages, and finally we went near the loading lift in pf9 and we still went front to take a seat in pf and had our lunch, Oil Brinjal with rice.
In pf 8 sbc-ask Passenger was ready to depart with kjm wdp4d. We were waiting for malgudi, as only after malgudi passes our train gives mighty entry into Bengaluru. Finally malgudi entered sbc at 13:54 with LGD wap7 in think so not sure, and departed at 14:05 after 5 or 7 mins, my favorite train with favourite with favourite side LHF UBL WDP-4 Entering the curvy pf 9 gorgeously, it suddenly came near me and my mom and my cousin sister got a seat in General class, its 3rd coach from loco and i got window seat on to tracks side but a left side seat. The EMD was continuously humming which were very very nice to my ears. Finally at sharp 15:00 we departed. WDP-4 gave a Low tense horn first and high tense horn next. Slowly we departed bengaluru we saw a beautiful brothers , kjm bleed blue wdp 4 with shivamogga Passenger and kjm bleed blue wdp4b with shivamogga Janshatabdi in next track after pf 10. Just how they were related, both will depart next to next to shivamogga.
Ok now back to Intercity express as we switched 3 tracks suddenly Lp gave a long horn and accelerated madly with smokes. Goose bumps here that time. Passed malleswaram at 55 kmph. And slow down before entering Yesvantpur after entering ypr platform 3 again wdp 4 gave a acceleration and pick up speed , that scene was like a train passes without halt at a big station. And we arrived ypr at 15:11. While entering ypr i saw wap4 and wap 7 of lgd and hassan intercity was next to us with lhf kjm wdp 4. And we departed at 15:15 and i enjoyed the different locos and different trains kept in ypr yard. As we accelerated and pick up good speed suddenly, heavy rain we rain. Our train slowed down at chik banavar due to heavy rain and again wdp 4 accelerated madly at soldevanahalli. And wdp4 crossed 100kmph in 3 mins i mean wdp 4 accelerated from 20 - 100 in just 3 mins. And our train continuesly honking and speeding up in gradients. Due to under road constructions our train as to slow down in that places. Finally arrived tumkur with 17 mins delay. There i saw Passenger train with wdp4d. And we departed tumkur after 5 mins halt. At Mallasandra we crossed Jaipur suvidha express which is hauled by kjm wdp 4 lhf. It looked gorgeous with lhb rakes. Our train was blasting at 105, I saw and enjoyed Long hood wdp 4 scene with sunshine, curve and with speed at a station. We slowed down at kardi to enter double line section. Its also a curvy station. Enjoyed by seeing the lhf wdp4. We arrived tiptur with 30+ mins of delays. We departed and slowed down at some places in intermediate where some construction works took place. So we departed arsikere with a delay of 45 mins. We entered arsikere at pf 2 in pf 3 mysuru Talguppa Passenger was standing with wdp 4d. I thought that our train will overtake that passenger in arsikere. But the Passenger train departed and we are still in arsikere after 10 mins from departure of Passenger our train departed with a delay of 1hr+. After clearing PSR s of arsikere wdp 4 accelerated madly again and blasted at 105 kmph we overtook the mys - tlgp passenger at devanur at mps. We departed kadur fastly within 1 min train accelerated and arrived Birur at pf 2 with a delay of 1'15 hrs. I saw kjm wdm 3a at birur and we departed Birur after 5 mins halt. Ran at good speed and arrived and departed tarikere and we crossed the bhadra river bridge before bhadravati station at a good speed, our train made a speedy arrival into bhadravathi station. We departed bhadravathi after 2 mins halt and arrived Old Shivamogga and we crossed tunga river bridge, the loco was accelerating while crossing bridge. Finally we arrived Shivamogga Town at 20:55 with 60 mins delay. Almost 90% of passengers deboarded at shivamogga itself. After 10 mins halt the train proceeded towards Talguppa.
