Railfan session in Chromepet -13/12/2009.

We received a surprise message that there was a railfanning session at the Chromepet express platform . Since our home was in Chromepet could we miss it out? So, we rushed to the platform at Chromepet station. We had arrived first. So ,we had to wait for the others who were on the way there. The people who were present at the railfanning session were me , my father , my mother , Sriram Karthik , Vasanth , S.S.Kumar the locopilot of the Thiruvananthapuram rajdhani express in the Konkan railway and I do not remember the names of the others who were also present in the railfanning session. The railfanning session started with the Rameshwaram express with its usual link , the ERS WDM3a I forgot the number of the loco. The train rushed past at 90kmph with super honking action . After the next half an hour the Kanyakumari express came with a surprise offlink the same ERS WDM3a it came at a very sedate speed , for this too I forgot the number of the loco. Then we waited for the next train the evening Pondicherry fast passenger, but , it got very dark and late so all of us started to depart , so , we also took leave and went back home. It was a memorable and superb railfanning session.
