Sadness is seeing her rescheduled by 1.5 hrs at SBC due to maintenance issues of incoming KK rake.
Happiness is seeing her rip through BYPL and KJM at MPS of 90kph.
Awesomeness is seeing her overtake Kaveri at WFD. Yes, Kaveri departed 15 minutes before Mail at SBC and was OT at WFD and arrived MAS 1.5 hrs after Mail - a gap equal to light year.
Brutalness
...
more...
is experiencing burning of the tracks from WFD to JTJ (brakes applied only during slow down on arrival at BWT/JTJ).
Appropriateness is, JTJ controllers giving priority to a non-SR train at JTJ outer vs an SR Train (ALLP-MAS). Yes, ALLP-MAS was made to wait at outer for Mail to enter PF at JTJ. Legend for a reason.
Pardonableness is couple of TSRs between JTJ and KPD halting her charge towards slashing away further delay.
Ruthlessness is SR controllers looping Kaziranga on 3rd line near Kadambattur for Mail overtake. Kaziranga departed from BNC whooping 40mins before Mail.
Ridiculousness is, covering BNC-PER in 4hrs45minutes at an average speed of 75kph.
Sleeplessness is, not sleeping through the journey just to witness ripping action and overtakes.
Courteousness is, saying "Thank you sir" to LP and ALP after the end of journey. The smile on their face was priceless.
Lastly....
Adorableness is my love for the legend, the night ripper, irrespective of the delay whatsoever at SBC. She never ceases to amaze me.
P.S: Trip report for SBC departure ex-28/04//2016

As per my analysis over the last 5 years, Mail is never allowed to depart JTJ ahead of palani-mas and Kerala unless the expected arrival of these 2 trains is at least 15 minutes after expected arrival of Mail.

Good luck. Kaveri gets overtaken only by Cheran.

Some other trains like YPR-HTE departing at 00:30 also overtake it.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
