LHB Mysore Express vs ICF Yesvantpur Express | Brilliant Parallel Entry into Chennai Central
TRAINS
1. 12610 Mysuru - Chennai InterCity Express hauled by ED WAP7 #37142
2. 22351 Pataliputra - Yesvantpur Express hauled by ET WAP4 #25047
Post hexa lining of Basin Bridge - Chennai section, it has become very common to see parallel arrivals at Chennai. However, both the locomotives simultaneously entering the platforms on adjacent tracks is still a rare, yet beautiful scenario.
Seen here are the InterCity Express from Mysuru and Weekly Superfast to Yesvantpur entering Chennai.
This is also my first capture of MYS Express in its LHB Avatar.
