In recent times, many of the routes in and around Bengaluru have become electrified. The last of which was the Bengaluru - Salem line via Hosur, Dharmapuri. The electrification was completed in various stages. It was notified in the month of June that 12677/78 KSR Bengaluru - Ernakulam Intercity Express would get electric traction from the 1st of July. Due to some personal commitments, I couldn't capture it on the first few days of its run. Finally, my first spotting of this train came on July 6th. And to my luck, it came with a WAP-4 from AJJ shed. Along with...
