Congratulation Pramodh on crossing yet another number. Our acquaintance started just a few months back and it seems we know each other since long. It was nice on your part to come by SBC to meet me during my last trip - since we missed meeting in Hyderabad. From then.. other than blogs we have spoken on so many other things and this is what that holds good on your part. Its a personal touch. Keep writing more, Keep helping more - critics are always there. They do their job and we keep doing what we are good at.. Keep marching ahead :)

There is a station called Gooty hidden in a corner of big state of AP.
This place called GY, has one track northwards towards HYB, while in south , track splits into single lines towards YPR via DMM, and via Tadipatri towards Chennai..............................
The importance of this station can be gauged from the fact that Mumbai-Chennai lines and HYB-Bangalore line cross each other at this point.

Nice one RDB. Small correction though. Northwards the track again splits into two - one that will bypass Guntakal and go directly to Dhone-Kurnool-KCG and one goes via Guntakal to either Bellary or Mumbai via Wadi or again to Secunderabad via Wadi.
This station in the late 70s and almost till mid 80s had prominence for its loco shed and all trains got the loco change in this station. It was also a very good meals station and had two big canteens on the platform. The canteens got closed after the pantry cars facility picked up. The Diesel shed lost some of its importance to Guntakal.

going South.. just as you exit Gooty station, you go straight towards Chennai and the one to Anantapur/SBC goes to the right. Best to see this is to take the road as this railway crossing is on a highway :)

Thanks Guys. It was nice to meet you all. Was happy to finally meet Shashank in person. We both have interacted a lot in the past and nowadays we are on mail touch. It was nice half hour spent talking about what we like the best - trains :)
Thanks Shashank - could finally meet you. I am rarely on the site nowadays but its always good to catch up. Thanks for reminding me of my pending all India Duronto trip - though I may opt for Rajdhani now. Will keep you posted as soon as I get the time slot to make this happen. Keep in touch buddy

Oct 29 2012 (12:50) 12604/Hyderabad - MGR Chennai Central SF Express (PT)

Rajasekhar G 6219 blog postsTravelled by this train from Hyd to Chennai on 27th Oct in 2 AC. Old coaches with not clean linen. AC was either too cold or no air at all. Had tough time sleeping on the upper berth. Samosa was out of stock by the time it came to HA1. Soup and lays were available with the regular dining options of biryani and chapati. the train was late at Guntur by half hour but reached Chennai 5 minutes late.
the return journey was supposed to be by 12603 for 28th Oct but WL 1 in 1AC never got confirmed. Finally had to take a taxi on sharing with others to reach hyderabad today morning
