Finally First Leg Of Journey was successfuly Completed.

Now Its Time To Catch A Train To Rameswaram [ DAY-3 = 1st half day]
The Next Morning I Catch the 16849 Tiruchchirappalli - Rameswaram Express From Manamadurai To Rameswaram The Undergoing Single Electrification made me upset but made my spirit to go high due to the Blissful Sound of ALCO Hauling It End To End. [Onboard Video Of Pamban Bridge Sucessfully Done]

[ DAY-3 = 2nd half day, DAY-4, DAY-5 & DAY-6 ]
🔘DAY-3 : After Reaching Rameswaram There Also Booked a Budget Hotel kept Action Camera & Digital Camera For Charging and went straight away for having Lunch As It was Past 12pm.
After Lunch Did Some Talks With The Hotel Manager About Transportation Mode to Go to Pamban Bridge also In & around Rameswaram As well as The Last Land Of India From Southern Tip Danushkodi. Luckily They told few meters ahead there is a medical shop which rent 2 wheelers as Auto's will make my pocket go empty. So 2 wheeler was best option to explore the island so I Got the Best Deal and Just Rented Out the 2 Wheeler For 2/3 Days.
Now It was time to explore Pamban Bridge The Same day as Rest Half Of Day was still there so headed straight Towards Room Packed my Gadgets Took The 2 Wheeler and just accelerated myself towards Pamban Bridge It was mesmerizing road trip by AH43/NH87 Towards Pamban The Only Main Road That Will Lead To Danushkodi, So once i Reached AtAnnai Indira Gandhi Bridge (Pamban Road Bridge) I did a Walk from one End To Another With one Action Camera in One Hand and Digital Camera one other Hand so while walking it was time to capture the train but didnt make it to the Bascule Part Of Pamban Bridge So I Positioned myself where I was Standing at the Bridge to Capture 16780 Rameswaram - Tirupati Express passing Pamban Bridge. After Capturing that I reached The Bascule Part Of Pamban Rail Bridge and It Was Time To Capture 16850 Rameswaram - Tiruchchirappalli Express Capturing It i did the rest of walking to reach the End. [DAY-3 Ended]

[DAY-4 Ended]

🔘DAY-5 : I Had A tight Time Constraint As Danushkodi Was Not covered in last 2 Days and I had My Return Train To Madurai at 14:35 So Decided To Go Early in the Morning Took The Same 2 Wheeler which I Rented Out For Past 2 Days and Ran On Rameswaram - Danushkodi Road and Visited Places Like Vibhishan temple, Dhanushkodi Beach, Dhanushkodi Church, Old Danushkodi Railway Station And At Last Arichal Munai. Enjoy the Solo Ride and Trip a Lot. After Completing The Trip Which took Almost 4-5 hours to complete I Just Gave Back the 2 Wheeler Which I Rented Out and paid Him the Total Amount and later went to Hotel For the checkout and walked straight away towards Railway Station To Catch The Train Back The Madurai boarded 16850 Rameswaram - Tiruchchirappalli Express till Manamadurai Jn after That Followed The Same Bus Route Which I Followed At DAY-2.Reached Madurai Junction At 7pm the Same Day After Checking It At Hotel Just thought of capturing 06655 Madurai - Rameswaram Express Special later took a break to relief myself from continious travel in last 3 days [DAY-5 Ended].

Couldn't understand the need for a line to Dhanuskodi where there's is no habitat. I guess the line won't be extention beyond RMM station and take a right detour ahead of station 3-5 km.

Removal of thorns is being intensified to rebuild the Rameswaram-Dhanushkodi railway line.

Dhanushkodi is an area 21 km away from Rameswaram which was devastated by a typhoon. Similarly, there was a rail link between Rameswaram and Dhanushkodi till 1964. The Dhanushkodi area, the largest industrial city, was completely devastated by the December 23, 1964 storm and terrible sea rage.
The Dhanushkodi-Rameswaram

railway line was completely submerged and damaged. Rail traffic between Rameswaram and Dhanushkodi was then completely suspended.

Similarly, the Central Government has given permission for the reconstruction of the Rameswaram-Dhanushkodi railway line. This was followed by the first phase of soil survey work along the coast for the construction of the Rameswaram-Dhanushkodi railway line last year.
In this context, a survey of the Rameswaram-Dhanushkodi railway line is to be carried out. The work of clearing and cleaning the plants including wild oak trees growing in the coastal areas between Dhanushkodi Kambipadu to Mukundarayar Chatram and Gotanda Ram Temple along the railway line is in full swing.
A senior railway official said: -

3 railway stations

Work on the 18-km Rameswaram-Dhanushkodi railway line is set to begin soon. Starting from the Rameswaram railway station area, the new line will be 18 meters north of the road to Dhanushkodi. The new railway line is planned to run from Rameswaram to Jada Theertham, Gothandramar Temple, Mukundarayar Chatram to Dhanushkodi Kambi Padu.
It has also been decided to set up 3 railway stations on this new railway line. There are plans to set up railway stations at 3 places namely Jada Theertham, Mukundarayar Chatram and finally Dhanushkodi.
Due to the rough seas and currents in the Dhanushkodi area, the work will be carried out to sustain the railway tracks for over 100 years.
Thus he said.
