Railfanning at Vadavannur Railway Gate | Ancestral Home of MGR | Chennai-Palakkad Express
Join us on an exciting railfanning adventure at the Vadavannur Rail Road Crossing (Vadakannikaapuram), near Kollengode town in Palakkad, Kerala. Famous as the ancestral village of legendary Tamil actor and Chief Minister M.G. Ramachandran (MGR), this beautiful station lies on the scenic branch line connecting Palakkad Junction and Pollachi.

Watch the Chennai-Palakkad Superfast Express (#22651 MGR Chennai Central – Palakkad Junction Express) speeding past, witness the picturesque Western Ghats and Nelliampathy hills, and meet the dedicated railway gangmen who ensure passenger safety daily.

Interesting Fact:
This charming, century-old railway station recently faced permanent closure due to low passenger numbers—but without regular train stops, how would passengers even reach here?

Discover the peaceful yet vibrant Vadavannur community, surrounded by homes, temples, shops, and calm, disciplined commuters patiently waiting at railway crossings.

Indian Railways Gate Operation at Muthalamada | Mango Village Crossing | Train Video @ Kutti Paadam
Witness a slice of rural India as we take you to Kutti Paadam Rail Road Crossing, a tranquil railway level crossing located in Muthalamada Panchayath, Palakkad District, Kerala – fondly known as the Mango Village of India.
Chapters:
01:37 – the Beautiful Muthalamada Railway Station
02:56 – the Kutti Padam Rail Road Crossing on the Vandithavalam Kollengode Road
05:44 – Railway Gate is Closing
07:17 – There comes the train – The Palakkad Express
(Chennai MGR Central – Palakkad Junction via Pollachi )
07:48 – Loud Horns!
09:00 – Opening of Railway Gate

Watch the Indian Railways Chennai–Palakkad Express pass through this scenic village road connecting Vandithavalam and Kollengode, as the gates lower, the sirens blare, and life slows down briefly to make way for the mighty train.

Muthalamada is famed for producing the finest varieties of mangoes like Alphonso, Neelam, Mallika, Malgova, and Chenthooram. Also featured is the beautiful yet forgotten Muthalamada Railway Station, once a vibrant stop for four trains, now barely served.

This video captures the entire gate operation — from closure to reopening — while soaking in the local charm and railway nostalgia.
