From Kandhanchavadi to Egmore - A Journey on the Fast Train

Had to go on a Client visit today, to an engineering company in Kandanchavadi. Nice office they had. It was pretty good. The surprise was the train journey back to office from there. The train path was laid as a part of the Flying Train Project (parakkum rail)... This was the first time, me travelling in the fast train after its extension till velachery. (The plan is to extend it till St Mount Station, where i reside) , I had previously travelled once from thirumailai to beach in it, that was during the testing stages of the project somewhere around 2002-03 period. It was extended to velachery some 6 months back.

The Journey was quite awesome, the high placed tracks, the wonderfull breeze, the superb stations, all were super.... I had taken some pictures during the travel, which i posted in picassa, you can find them here...

It bought back the memories of college days where we would travel back from tambaram to st thomas mount during the afternoons, in similar scenarios, except that the train would travel on land instead of high tracks..
