Just had a random idea... What are the long trains that share or used to share coaches at the other end?

Here are some I can think of:
- HWH CSMT HWH Gitanjali and PURI HWH PURI Sri Jagannath (Puri station, as far as I know)
- HWH HYB HWH East Coast and RNC HWH RNC Kriya Yoga (HTE station)
- Ranchi Howrah Intercity and Howrah Purulia Exp (HTE station)

Know more?

Bas ek badiya vichar mere dimaag mein aaya...
Kaunsi lambi doori ke train hain jinka ya tha RSA non-PM end mein?

Maine yaad kiya
HWH CSMT HWH Gitanjali aur PURI HWH PURI Sri Jagannath (PM PURI, AFAIK)
HWH HYB HWH East Coast aur RNC HWH RNC Kriya Yoga (PM HTE)
Ranchi Howrah Intercity aur Howrah Purulia Exp (PM HTE)

Aur batao

Yo, here's my suggestion. I think the Railways should switch up their standardization formula for the Rakes. For those long-haul superfast trains clocking more than 18 hours, we're talking one coach of AC First class, a minimum of 2 and a max of 3 coaches for AC Second class, 5 coaches for AC Three Tier, 2 coaches for AC Three Tier Economy, anywhere between 6 to 8 coaches for Sleeper class, and at least 1 SLRD plus 4 coaches for General class. Now, for those shorter trips under 18 hours, we're looking at 1 coach of HA1, 1 coach of AC Second class, 6 coaches for AC Three Tier, 3 coaches for AC Three Tier Economy, 5 coaches for Sleeper class, and 1 SLRD plus 5 coaches for General class. And let's not forget the intercity trains where we need 1 coach of AC Three Tier Economy, 3 coaches of AC Chair Car, 6 coaches of Non-AC AC Chair Car, 8 coaches of General Sitting, 1 SLRD, and 1 EOG. When it comes to ICF rakes for intercity travel, swap out an Economy coach for a 3A coach and keep the rest the same as mentioned earlier. Lastly, for Janshatabdi trains, we're talking 5 coaches of AC Chair Car, 12 coaches of Non-AC Chair Car, 1 SLRD, and 1 EOG. Peace out!

DAMN, CHECK OUT THIS OLD TRAIN MAP OF EAST BENGAL IN 1911! SO MUCH HAS CHANGED! LIKE, TRAINS FROM GUWAHATI TO DELHI USED TO GO THROUGH BANGLADESH, RAIGANJ, KATIHAR, AND PARBATIPUR. SOUTH BANK OF BRAHMAPUTRA WAS FOR TRAINS TO NORTHEAST. AND TERMINALS WERE SILIGURI, KISHANGANJ, ALIPURDUAR, AND COOCHBEHAR. FEW TRAINS STARTED THERE. SILIGURI TO CALCUTTA LINE WENT VIA MALDA, LALGOLA, AZIMGANJ, AND SOME BANGLADESH SPOTS. AND ANOTHER LINE FROM HOWRAH TO DELHI VIA NALHATI, PAKUR, BHAGALPUR, AND MORE. BACK THEN, EAST INDIA WAS MAINLY METRE GAUGE, BROAD GAUGE WAS ONLY FROM HOWRAH TO GAYA! MIND-BLOWING! 🤯🚂

Pichle ka Zamana ka Jhaakas Scene!!
EAST BENGAL RAILWAY MAP 1911

Bhut saara cheezon ka badal gaya!!
For example: Guwahati se Delhi jaane wali trains Parbatipur(Bangladesh), Raiganj, Barsoi Katihar se chalti thi😱😱 brahmaputra nadi ke uttar kinare se.

Brahmaputra nadi ke dakshin kinare se dusri trains Northeast ke liye use hoti thi

Siliguri, Kishanganj, Alipurduar, Coochbehar terminal the. Kuch trains inka seva se start hoti thi.

Siliguri se Calcutta ki line Malda, Lalgola, Azimganj aur kuch areas of Bangladesh se guzarti thi. Siliguri line Ranaghat se cut hoti thi.

Ek aur line banayi gayi thi Howrah se Delhi ke liye Nalhati, Pakur, Barharwa, Bhagalpur, Jamalpur, Patna, Ara, Buxar, Mughalsarai ke zariye

PURAA EAST INDIA METRE GAUGE THA, BROAD GAUGE SIRF HOWRAH SE GAYA TAK THA😱😱🤯🤯
