Curious look

Commuters at the door giving me a curious look as I take the shot of the new MEDHA 3-PHASE EMU which is replacing the old EMU

Soon to be history

As more 3-phase EMU being inducted into service, old WAU-4 class EMU being decommissioned as they are less energy efficient

Home bound

Jam packed with students and office-goers returning home, Tiruttani bound 3-phase EMU arriving at Egattur on a light sunny evening

Morning rush hour begins

Even though there is Beach bound EMU every 15 minutes, by 0800 hrs all EMUs will be in full capacity and hard to get in

Slowly being phased out

As energy efficient 3-phase EMUs join the fleet, old EMU of WAU-4 class slowly gets phased out from service
