- Video #200 - a very special journey comes up as the 200th vlog on this channel! A sleeper class journey from Chennai Central (Puratchi Thalaivar Dr M G Ramachandran Central Station) to Palakkad junction on the legendary 22627 Chennai - Mangalore West Coast Express!
West Coast Express is a very popular day time train from Chennai, that becomes an exclusive train for overnight travel from Coimbatore to Malabar area of Kerala!

Very good speed
Congrats on the 200! Keep them coming, this is great quality content :)
Thanks so much!
The amount of trash being thrown out of the train windows by passengers makes a mockery of our " Swatch Bharath Abhiyan" !!!!
Unless the railways provide sufficient waste bins to collect such trash, and develops a mechanism of ensuring the trash is disposed effectively, this would continue to happen, unfortunately.
Consistently Good Rail Videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ which is so beautiful to watch 😊
Good Upload, Expecting More from You 🎉
More to come!
Enjoyed this 200th video especially coming as a mid-week break! Congratulations on this milestone, Binai :)
I too agree that the Jolarpet - Salem section is one of the most beautiful sections in the region, and this is possible only in a few trains like the WC! I also still remember the electric-> diesel loco change that used to happen at Erode long back for WC (6627 then), even when the line was electrified till SRR.
Just hope that this train, along with its legendary counterparts Mangalore Mail, Malabar express (+ Maveli exp.) get LHB coaches soon, so they get their rightful due. If SR could do the Pandiyan-Cholan-Rockfort RSA with LHB, this also should be done. But sadly, looks like either there is no will or push to improve these trains.
The loco change at Erode was to send locomotives from Erode diesel shed to Mangalore. The loco would otherwise have to be sent light till SRR. About LHB - The current allotment system gives priority to long distance trains. Mail/WC isn't really a long distance one!
200 not out. Keep going
Thoroughly Enjoyed ❤❤❤❤❤❤
U only reminded me that today is Wednesday 6 pm. Nice to follow yr vlog.tqs Mr Sankar.

Nicely done..Congrats for your 200th video..
Super vlog. Thank you as always!
Ah, West Coast Exp 😊
Regarding the Loco Escape lines - Yes, Chennai Central never had a third line between the two platform lines, but there used to be turnouts that would enable a loco to get onto the adjacent track. Its not clear if these turnouts are there between the current platforms 7-11, but the older ones used to have them. Trains like Lalbagh, when they had a lesser number of rakes, would not halt right at the end of the platform, but well before it to allow the loco to detach and proceed to the adjacent track via the turnout. If I remember correctly, this used to happen to many shorter intercity rakes. I dont think it used to happen in the case of trains like Brindavan or even Kovai.
Thanks for that info. I'll check if those points exist even now during my next trip to Chennai. Please note they are "coaches" and not "rakes". A rake is a formation of coaches.
@@Platform7byBinaiSankar Oh yes, that was inadvertent.
200th Video.kudos to your hard work. Really appreciate it
55:20 The place where I saw WAG 12 for the 1st time. I was lucky to spot it as I was onboard 16315 MYS KCVL EXP and it was crawling through the station
Wonderful Compilation

Wednesday & Sunday is Mr.Binai's Day 😊
Good content.
There is also a different up and down line between Magudanchavadi (Salem) from Erode and Towards Salem not sure of the reason. Please do comment if you know.
This route badly deserves another day time express since CBE Intercity, Kovai Express all runs full. And a new daily UR Express from Salem to Shoranur that would help connect Salem to Kerala during day time
Yes. Magudanchavadi to Erode - the up and down lines take different alignments.

About two decades ago, there was a major accident in the twin double line section and there were many casualties. A passenger train collided with a goods train face to face. As I remember railway declared that it was a human error.
Due to the lack of road connectivity in the GHAT section, rescue operations were very difficult.
Yes. That accident led to the railways reconsidering having twin single line sections.

Already covered. Plan to do it once Kanniyakumari station redevelopment is completed.
First comment 🎉
30:04 😂😂😂😂 our railways are well trained to Play With Passenger ( shuttle) trains.😂😂
can somebody confirm if this rake is converted to LHB ? I mean i heard a news that maveli and malabar is going to get LHB
Not yet converted and not on the list of trains to be converted in 2023 either. 16347/8 will get LHB rakes this year (due to its rake link with 12619/20 Matsyagandha Exp)
Is the 130 kmph stretch till Perambur or AJJ
Perambur to JTJ
25👍
Can you cover Yesvanthpur - Solapur (via Ananthpur) route ?
Will do!
Were you a railway employee?
No
