Very true. I never dreamt that, one day, I would be able to share all this footage. My primary motivation for having a camcorder was to enjoy all this footage after coming back to US. 😊😊😊
One of my favourite trains inspite of Rajdhani, Gaib Rath etc introduced subsequently. Had the feel of train journey with its own sound and speed during lock down period. Thanks for the post.
Thanks! This train truly set a landmark when introduced. Was the first non-AC train to cross 73 kmph average speed. Also, the first to have all three AC classes - 1AC, 2AC, ACCCC.
Sir,I would like to mention that 35:06 - 36:52 is literal music to my ears. The humming sound re-energizes my senses! I used to stay in Chennai during those days and I know what Wammies mean:-) Thank you very much for this video.
Beautiful Compilation of my all time fav train sir!! Loved it a lot! U seem to have sacrificed quite a few hours sleep that night to bring us this beauty, nearly 2 decades later! Hats off to you
I knew you would like it 😁. I was so sleep depraved when we left Vijayawada that I slept off for almost 2.5 hours. And then another sleep mini-marathon between Nagpur and Teegaon.
i was born in 2007 but i had a strong liking towards older trains and the older indian railways. Your channel has exactly the content which i needed that i coudnt get from google. Thanks to your channel, i am able to view the precious old days of IR. Love ur channel sir Love from Banagalore
I also grew up like that only but the trains mainly either were in Mumbai-Ahmedabad section of WR or Trains I saw while traveling Howrah from Anand by Ahmedabad-Howra Express, all Pune bound trains and few Hyderabad and Vijayawada touching/bound trains.
Some of my best memories of trains I ever watched and experienced in 1990s and 2000's:- 1) Seing Mumbai-Pune Shatabdi (ICF) with matching liveried WCAM 2p/3 when that train was passing from Daadar. 2) Seing ICF Mumbai Rajdhani with WAP 5/7 (saw WAP 5/7 first time) and also the train having both generator cars in Shatabdi livery. 3) Seing ICF Shatabdis with matching Liveried WAP 1 locomotive. 4) seing ICF Rajdhanis with matching liveried WAP 1 locomotive. 5) Seing mail/express trains with Maroon Liveried coaches very frequently being hauled by matching liveried WAM 4 locomotive. 6) Tata WAM 4 hauling Mail/express trains having a mixture of Cream-brown liveried, blue Liveried and maroon liveried coaches. 7) Seeing Swaraj express being hauled by a Raj liveried WAP 1 (GZB) along with also having many Rajdhani liveried coaches in that train. 8) Seing Jnaneshwari Superdelux having full Rajdhani liveried coaches along with matching liveried SRC WAP 1 in 2001. 9) Travelling by Karnavati in 1997 and 1998 from Anand to Mumbai and Vapi respectively, along with seing Karnavati having full Shatabdi liveried coaches and also being hauled by WCAM 2/2p (the locomotive which also used to haul Ahmedabad-Mumbai Shatabdi as well). 10) Seing Deccan Queen having Shatabdi Liveried coaches and also being hauled by a matching liveried WCAM 3. 11) Seing a mail/Express train along with having mixture of few Blue Liveried, few Cream-Brown liveried and few maroon liveried coaches along with WCG 2 (Tata WAM 4 lookalike) as it's loco incharge, the train was at hault in Thane; maybe Devagiri or Howrah-Kurla Express in 2001. 12) Travelling by Hyderabad-Mumbai Express during 1995 and 1997 and both the Time that train being hauled by a WCG 2 in Pune-Mumbai section. 13) Travelling by Lokshakti between Ahmedabad and Vadodara and the train being hauled by a Tata WAM 4 lookalike WCAM 1. 14) Experiencing WDM to WAM4 locomotive change in Ahmedabad-Howrah express while traveling to Howrah from Anand along with the train having Maroon liveried coaches and also matching liveried WAM 4 as well as WDM. First time I had sensed a train can run in both Diesel as well as Electric locomotive by learning what is locomotive change. 15) watching a WDM locomotive piggybacking a WAM 4 locomotive in a mail/Express train in Raipur-Durg section. WDM was in front and WAM 4 was behind it but both the locos were operating, none of them were running dead and both together were hauling the Express train. 16) Travelling by Ahmedabad-Howrah Express from Anand to Howrah, when the train was having fully blue liveried coaches along with getting hauled by a Raj liveried SRC WAP 1/4 end-to-end; due to full electrification; as the Surat-Bhusawal stretch got electrified. It was the most thrilling and exciting train journey experience I ever had and the train was also upgraded to Superfast category from express. 17) Discovering Ahimsa Express being fully end-to-end hauled a Blue-Yellow-Blue liveried Wcam 3 locomotive (KYN) along with having fully blue Liveried coaches, making a superfast type feel, despite being an express category train. 18) Seing Saurashtra Mail passing Maninagar during 90's along with having 8 Cream-Brown Liveried coaches in the middle whereas the remaining coaches in the beginning and ending of the train were Maroon liveried, the last; Guard-Van coach (towards ending of the train) of the train was blue liveried and the train was being hauled by a Red-Cream liveried WCAM 1 locomotive. I found this pattern/combination of the train very mesmerising (regarding its coaches livery pattern as well as the locomotive at the same time hauling the train) and loved it very much. So these are the memorable experience of trains I ever had during my childhood in 1990s and 2000s.
Thanks Mani for the great footage. Brings back memories of all my travel in green yellow coloured tamilnadu express in early 80s to delhi. Was probably faster back then but still this train packs a punch even today
In 2000 I was only 6 year old Feeling amazing to see these type of old and rare videos nowadays U are the first railfan of India !!!!!!! And I see ur Action camera 19:15 😉😉😉🤣🤣🤣🤣
Non stop 6 hours run from Chennai to Vijayawada .. Damn that is seriously great stuff here ... LP & ALP should be really applauded for this ... And also you Mani sir to sacrifice the sleep for bringing this treasure ... I think 2621/22 was one of very first few trains in IR to get whole dedicated Air Brake blue rake !!
In today LhB era, those rhythmic track sounds of ICF are incredible. Thank you Mani for bringing back those memories that are almost 2 decades ago, by then I didn't get into my higher school as well..🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful night coverage....u believe it or not never have I ever traveled in Tamilnadu Express....my train as a child was Charminar Express or Hyderabad express to and from Madras Central as I was staying in Parli Vaijanath..so till Secunderabad that train...then famous Parli Passenger....ahhhh my good childhood days 😊
I have traveled by many Hyderabad bound trains such as Golconda Express, Kakatiya fast passenger, Godavari express, Satavahana express, Charminar, Konark and Hyderabad Mumbai Express. I enjoyed traveling in Hyderabad Mumbai Express in Pune-mumbai section when it was hauled by a WCG 2 loco during 1995 and 1997. I travelled by both Charminar and kornark between Vijayawada and Secunderabad and the locomotive was a BZA/VSKP WAM 4 but lookalike of Tata WAM 4 during 1996 and 1997. Satavahana express I had seen with a blue liveried BZA WAM 4 going towards Vijayawada from Warangal. Goadavari was the 1st train I travelled when I was a baby from VSKP-Hyderabad. My father says it used to be hauled by a VSKP/BZA Red-Yellow liveried WAM4, but now I see by a Raj Liveried WAP 1 or WAP 5/7. My father travelled by Kakatiya passenger as well as Golconda Express and both the trains had Maroon liveried coaches with matching WAM 4, but now Golconda Express has Shatabdi type LHB coaches with WAP 5/7 loco. These are some memories I have about trains while me or my parents travelling Hyderabad in my childhood.
Fantastic Run Bro and Awsome Train Tamil Nadu Express Nearly 3 Times Travelled Between Chennai Central and Vijayawada Beautiful Train With Marbelous Speed Especially Pickup and Track Sounds Best Train To Delhi From Chennai
That was a time when in majority of mail/express trains, maroon liveried coaches with matching liveried WAM locos where very common in AC electrified sections and the trains having cream-Brown liveried coaches along with Maroon as well as few AB blue coaches got a TATA WAM 4 type locomotive (Red-Cream with a blue stripe).

@@ManiVijay Yes, it is my first memory of traveling on the NDLS MAS trunk line. I was amazed at the average speed of TN, morning it reached BPL, by lunch NGP.
7:00 WAG/WAM:-"Why do you have sharp mouth?" WAP:-"I am aero and you flat." Meanwhile Baldie:-"Excuse me I don't like this game." Because Baldie is bald in small age 😂😂😆😆
Coromandel express introduced in 1977 the stops are Howrah, Bhubaneswar, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and Chennai. Khurda road is technical halt for Coromandel express when introduced. After kharagpur, rajahmundry and bharampur was after halts kept for Coromandel express.
Thanks for the suggestion! I tend to talk to myself more in English as a matter of habit. I switch over to Hindi when I am with others who speak Hindi.
@@ganeshmahajan950 Don't get me wrong but I have been taking videos, from 1992, even before people like Rail Gyankosh were born. I don't upload videos just to get hits and increase my subscribers. It is to share something of value - my vintage collection - with all of you. I have my own style of taking videos. Hope you can understand!
If you know Rail Gyankosh personally, ask him him to visit the IRFCA FAQ which has been created with a lot of effort from people and railway officers and staff with REAL, IN-DEPTH knowledge. He could learn a lot from there.
@@ManiVijay Thank you sir for your reply, you were absolutely right, I did not intend to disturb you in any way, sir I am also your subscribers. When I saw your videos myself, I too was shocked and got into thinking that you must have shot these videos with so much hard work at that time. When most of your subscribers were not born to me, and Sir, it is a difficult task to keep these videos till now. And to make available to all our subscribers at this time on you tube, that too after so many years.

I agree. Both are legends in their own right.
Coromandel express introduced in 1977 the stops are Howrah, Bhubaneswar, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and Chennai. Khurda road is technical halt for Coromandel express when introduced. After kharagpur, rajahmundry and bharampur was after halts kept for Coromandel express.
Wow finally after a year. 😁

Mani sir also give voice over in Hindi in your videos
videos will make more sense and your channel will also grow
Thanks for the suggestion! I tend to talk to myself more in English as a matter of habit. I switch over to Hindi when I am with others who speak Hindi.
@@ManiVijay Mani sir, you watch the railgyaankosh channel, maybe it will help you
@@ganeshmahajan950 Don't get me wrong but I have been taking videos, from 1992, even before people like Rail Gyankosh were born. I don't upload videos just to get hits and increase my subscribers. It is to share something of value - my vintage collection - with all of you. I have my own style of taking videos. Hope you can understand!
If you know Rail Gyankosh personally, ask him him to visit the IRFCA FAQ which has been created with a lot of effort from people and railway officers and staff with REAL, IN-DEPTH knowledge. He could learn a lot from there.
@@ManiVijay Thank you sir for your reply, you were absolutely right, I did not intend to disturb you in any way, sir I am also your subscribers.
When I saw your videos myself, I too was shocked and got into thinking that you must have shot these videos with so much hard work at that time.
When most of your subscribers were not born to me, and Sir, it is a difficult task to keep these videos till now. And to make available to all our subscribers at this time on you tube, that too after so many years.
