As soon as we ( Me and Bose ) arrived at Guntakal by Bangalore Nanded Express. Mumbai Chennai Express gets a line clear and the trains departed towards the rising sun.
11041 Mumbai CST - Chennai Express with AJJ WAP-1 #22023 departs Guntakal Jnction
We then tired our luck at a dormitory / retiring room and to our luck we got one. The blue building on the right in the above picture is the place. It cost us only 55rs for 24 hours. Our my plan was to get refreshed and take a small break before boarding the Super around 11 hrs to continue our journey. The view from the dormitory was one of the best. Both the line towards Chennai / Dhone and the line Line towards Bangalore was clearly visible which means we will not miss any train going in this direction. The number of freight trains in this route is very high. Almost every 15 minutes, a freight passes this station. A view from the room is shown below. One of the special spotting was a NMG train with 4 WDG3A's from Erode . We had a wonderful time upto 10:45 from this place spotting various trains. We finally moved out to catch the Super. Have shared few pictures below.
