For my return Journey, I decided to visit Tiruchendur Murugan Temple, one of 6 abodes of Lord Murugan in Tamilnadu. From there, I boarded the 16106 Tiruchendur - Chennai Egmore Express. This train is the only express train plying in the Tiruchendur - Tirunelveli branch line; it's coach composition and their positions are more or less fixed, owing to platform length issues of the station in this route.

began our Journey late in the evening at 19:00 hrs from Tiruchendur and reached Chennai the following morning at 11:00 hrs. Our train was hauled by GOC WDP-4D from Tiruchendur to Villupuram Jn.; and from there a RPM WAP-7 took charge. I hope you enjoy the Journey as much as I did.
