Novemeber 1st, a special day for the people of Karnataka and railways decided to gift the state 6 new trains. I decided to cover the inuagural runs from Yesvantpur. 3 new trains were to be inugurated from Yesvantpur.
1. Yesvantpur - Nelamangala Passenger
2. Yesvantpur - Hosur Passenger ( It was already running as a special )
3. Bengaluru - Tumakuru Passneger ( It was already running as a special express )

Started from home around 8:00 AM to Bengaluru city to have a glimpse of the decorated Loco for Tumakuru Passenger. On reaching the station, there were no signs of the loco and it was also confirmed by fellow rail fan Nihkil who was waiting for me. We took Bengaluru Tumakuru Passenger that departs at 09:20 AM to Yesvantpur to have a look at the siutation there. On reaching we got to meet the unique WAP1 named Jawahar. Then from the yard side we saw a decorated train coming towards platform 6. It was the loco and the 2 DEMU's for the inaugural runs. After inspecting the decorated DEMU, we went towards the Loco to be surprised again. The rake of Bengaluru - Tumakuru was already coupled to the loco and we were also informed that all the trains will start from Platform 6. We then went around clicking pictures and by 12, Nelamanga DEMU was given clearance and we departed Yesvantpur. After getting down at Soldevanahalli and waving good bye to DEMU, we waited for Bengaluru - Tumakuru inugural passenger. The train finally came after 20 minutes at Full MPS and it went out of sight in no time. It was time for home. Pictures and Video from the event an be seen below.
