Background Story: For the past 5-6 days, KCG-MYS has been getting end-to-end Diesel ALCos from GTL. Before that, Electric Locos from KJM/RPM sheds were used to haul between MYS and K.S.R Bengaluru (SBC) and GTL ALCos between SBC and GTL. This surprising end-to-end ALCo link was indeed happiness for all Mysuru-based railfans.
But anytime soon, the electrification works near Kurnool might be completed, and soon this train would get end-to-end electric links. Due to that fear, I made up my mind to spot it and finally I did it !!
Since 2023, I had limited my trainspotting and RF due to personal responsibilities. When this news came up, I really felt like spotting it and henceforth did it !!
Also attaching the idling sounds of both the ALCos !!
Hope you all liked it !!
Thank you ALL !!
please wait...Translate to EnglishThis dude saw some cool old trains at Guntakal. It was this twin set of ALCo engines, one was a WDM-3A #16696 and the other was a WDM-3D #11553. They were pulling train number 12786, the Mysuru to Kacheguda Express. They saw it at Mysuru Junction and it was chillin' on platform number 1. This happened on March 9th, 2023, at 2:50 PM. The dude was using a Vivo T1 5G to take pictures. Apparently, for the past few days, this train has been getting these cool old diesel engines from GTL, which makes all the railfans in Mysuru really happy. But they're worried that they're gonna change to electric engines soon, so the dude wanted to spot it before that happened.

Background Story: Pichle 5-6 dinon se, KCG-MYS ke liye dono taraf se Diesel ALCos GTL se chal rahe thay. Iske pehle, MYS se KSR Bengaluru (SBC) tak KJM/RPM sheds ke Electric Locos aur SBC se GTL ke bich mein GTL ALCos ka istemal kiya jata tha. Yah hairatangez end-to-end ALCo link, sabhi Mysuru ke railfans ke liye khushi ka karan tha.
Lekin jald hi, Kurnool ke aas-pass ki vidyutikaran kaam khatam ho jayega, aur jald hi is train ko end-to-end electric links m...
