Just got back from a trip to the South...the trip was mainly for attending a ceremony in the family. After a gap of many years, I got to travel on long-distance trains. We traveled by Chalukya from DR to DWR (Dharwad - the station code still reflects the old name "Dharwar") and back. From DWR, we traveled to MYS (Mysore) and back. The journeys were quite pleasant...although the trains ran about 0.5 hr to 1 hr behind schedule.
The most disappointing thing about the trip was about having missed the opportunity to visit the UBL (Hubli) diesel loco shed - which is about 0.5 hr from DWR. WDP/Gs roamed freely on this section and it was nice to see so many of them.
The other significant thing about the trip was that the DWR-MYS journey must've had at least 50 W/Ls...so the loco was honking quite frequently.
The Chalukya from DR to YPR was hauled by (surprise!) a micro-processor-controlled Pune WDG3A Shakti.
