Once upon a time, Villupuram Junction used to be a major hub for traction change from Electric to Diesel and vice - versa, and there used to be plenty of locos operated in both the directions. Same used to happen couple of years back for the train, in which I am onboard as well. Since the electrification has completed, finding diesel locomotives has become a rarity in this place, except for one or two ALCos, that would mostly be deployed for shunting. Seeing a high horsepower Electromotive Diesels that haul passenger train has become a rare scenario. But luckily, i got to spot one such beauty belonging to Ponmalai here today. Probably the special train to Ramnad to Tambaram is undergoing traction change here i guess.

When you talk about Villupuram I remember my days of Pondicherry in 1990s. I have travelled many times to Villupuram. Places like Villianur gives one nostalgia.
