Vanakkam and Namaskar guys to all...

Today I had Surprise meeting of Raj Mhamane sir (Solapur RFan)and me for the first time in Chennai Central and planned to send off for returing to his home town .

I

reached there near 5:30 PM after getting platform ticket and did RFing before meeting him.

The 12163/64 train was stabled on platform 10, hauled by BZA WAP7, had an WCR SLR coach with it.

I was very excited to meet him, we both talked very well, I spoke Marathi as well and a bit Kannada (although I am Tamil guy ) well to some extend, I learned through watching some Marathi YT/TV Channels and discusssed about wellbeing, RFing, some politics and future plans as well and I told about journey of KK exp through Solapur in childhood. The meting and discussion went good so far and appreciated me for speaking good Marathi although I made grammatical mistakes however appreciated me for fluency.

Meanwhile, i TESTED some Flipping boards to find their RSAS of some popular trains of SR. I think SR is using flipping board concept to differentiate RSAs compared to Other zones, whle Checking for West coast express, it will return as Mangalore mail and the same rakes are used as Maveli express. One Malayalam speaking aunty when she asked "Do this train will go to Mangalapuram?" (when I kept that flipping TB as Maveli express), yes it will go dont worry, I just flipped for taking photo, dont worry, said by me and she passed peacefully.

Palakkad Division should stop doing like this type of shitty RSAs and give proper rakes otherwise people will get confuse whether our train is Mangalore mail or West coast. Same scenario with LHB TVC mail X Cheran express . Thank Bhagwan or Kadavul, I havent got captured by RPF for this act.

At last, I couldnt able to capture Coromandel express since it was running late so I captured Shalimar MAS weekly SF(RSA with SRC MAQ Vivek). came with RPM WAP7.

Finally , I waved of Raj bhava while departing, departed sharp on time, however loco wasnt recorded. And our meeting was went beautifully.

For your views....

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
