Vaigai Express is one of the more prestigious trains of Southern Railway. Vaigai means 'put your hand out' in Tamil. The name 'Vaigai Express' has been always popular among not only the rail users but also among rail fans of two different generations as the train had won the hearts of thousands of people who had known and experienced it right from the early days. Due to the demand for a day train between Madurai and Madras, which gradually began to increase from the 1970s, the southern railway decided to do its best for the rail travelers to introduce a super fast train for the first time on the MG in Southern railway.

'Vaigai' is a river in Madurai. It originates in the Periyar Plateau of the Western Ghats range, and flows northeast through the Kambam Valley, which lies between the Palni Hills to the north and the Varushanad Hills to the south.

I dedicate this video to dear Sir. Jegadish Kumar, an enthusiastic train lover from SSN College of Engineering,Chennai on behalf of his birthday today.
