The train ( 121UP / 122DN ) with 16 carriages in beautifully painted livery, Public Address system in all coaches & hauled by Single WDM2, was a treat to watch.
My father was posted in Jhansi during that era. We all went to Jhansi railway station to see this train on the inaugural day...
Those beautiful days !!!
