Offlink Kanpur wala bhaiya WAP7 with H Nizamuddin Madurai TN Sampark kranti express after changing tracks towards Chennai Beach from Tondiarpet side skipping Washermenpet station at caution of 15KMPH. This train needed to be run pentaweekly or in daily basis as inner TN doesnt have proper connection to Delhi. Comments please.

Great:Nice capture👌👌👍👍
Special train on different route: Jodhpur Tambaram AC spl with Poorna Chicken ad RPM WAP7 via Bhildi, Ahmedabad , Vasai , Konkan route, Mangalore , Palakkad, Salem waiting for signal clearance at Washermenpet station. Almost of the coaches were literally empty as due to lack of popularity. However, it is the first train from Chennai side connecting Chennai with Udupi, Madgaon, Ratnagiri and Panvel. Hope this train needed to be regularised.
