Island express covered the KJM – WFD distance in close to 7 minutes, a feat never before heard of for any train even those skipping KJM. It was a clear indication of what was in store for us. Island was on a carnage run upto Tirupattur for its scheduled halt. The section controllers decided that it is time for a short break and let us wait until the Legendary TVC Mail overtook us at Tirupattur on the mainline.
