Getting prepared for the return journey to Mysuru [ Chamarajapuram (CMJ)] !!!
Chamarajanagar (CMNR) --- Tirupati (TPTY) Express [ Train No: 16219 ] led by KJM WDP-4D #40486. The train was expected to depart at 3:30pm from Chamarajanagar.
Initially...
more... I had expected KJM bleed blue WDP-4 #20041 to be the link for the UP route , that is Chamarajanagar (CMNR) --- Tirupati (TPTY) Express , because the same locomotive pulled in the Mysuru (MYS) -- Chamarajanagar (CMNR) Passenger [ Train No: 06233] at platform-1 and as per the RSA, the rake parked at Platform-1 returns back to Mysuru as Express.
But in Chamarajanagar (CMNR), all the 3 Platforms were occupied and KJM WDP-4D #40486 which already had pulled in Express in DN Route, that is that is Tirupati (TPTY) --- Chamarajanagar (CMNR) Express [ Train No: 16220 ] was the only available locomotive on the other side (Towards MYS side), whereas the bleed blue locomotive was on the End of the line side, trapped !!!
Finally the WDP-4D was cranked up, warmed up well with notches, brought to platform-1 and hitched to the rake, and the Express was ready to return back to Mysuru !!!
