[vb642]

@hubertstephen1 Yes! Those beautiful days of MG electrics!

[KSaaluvesh]

i bet those MG EMUs are better than present day BG EMUs.

[vb642]

@KSaaluvesh I am sure too. At least, the MG rakes looked so cute! All gone :-(

Amazing oscillations of MG EMU.. loved the action... "wow wow" was icing on cake...

true expressions of a railfan!!!

[vb642]

@jattinbh Thanks! That "wow, wow" was a spontaneous reaction - I was surprised by how the 2nd EMU snuck up on me :-)

this must have been an unforgettable moment surely ! racing with 2 MG EMUs ; with the lovely ALCO horn serving as a background ; sad this sight can never be seen again

[vb642]

@avinashi07 Yes, it was! And it was totally unplanned!

[athreyaak]

when i was in chennai, there were 2 MG tracks and 2 BG tracks b/n tambaram and Egmore. But from TBM and CGL there were 2 MG lines and one BG line. Later one MG converted to BG in 2004. parallel MG b/n TBM-MS also converted to BG. But these MG EMU were really faster and Quick than BG EMUs. we missed them. what u say vb642?

[vb642]

@athreyaak I agree. Miss the MG EMUs and the cute YAM1 loco as well! MS-TM-CGL-VM was my all-time favorite MG section in India. And now, that's gone. Feel extremely sad. I actually curse Jaffier Sharief a lot, since he is the one who initiated the unigauge project.

[natarajanakrishna]

Beautiful video. I miss these MG beauties.............

[Arkchat921]

Does the MG lines still exist, or is being converted to BG???

[vb642]

MG is no more in this area :-( :-( :-(

Excellent Video. Brings back the old mmories. So Nellai got a WDM2 all the way in 1999...

[vb642]

Thanks. At that time, the Villupuram-Tambaram BG track was not electrified, hence, the WDM2.
