My return train arriving with an old freight workhorse



After spending the afternoon at Kappil village, it was time for me to go home. My return train was powered by 32 years of service EDDS, WAG-5HA . It was exciting to see this old freight workhorse powering the small consist of Kollam Jn - Thiruvananthapuram Central unreserved Express slowly rolling into Kappil station in the evening light. I enjoyed amazing acceleration of this WAG-5HA as it started from each station till Thiruvananthapuram Central. Good to see that these old locos are being used for short distance passenger trains instead of being decommissioned.
