I agree zonal HQ needs to interfere but think otherwise. I'll give examples of SER only. Compare the maintenance of TATA and HTE CDOs. You'll see the difference. "Zameen Aasmaan ka fark hai"
Bro But few legendary trains & stations are expection in maintenance.
Am saying about larger perspective.

SRC CDO does the maintainance of rakes very poorly, specially the Toilets of coaches of trains of SRC CDO is in very bad condition in almost 80%of coaches.
New depot at Shalimar is getting ready, don't know how will they do because Vande Bharat trains will be started soon and interior cleaning of VB rakes must be good.

SRC maintenance is nearly good for short distance Intercity trains. Never had to travel in long distance trains maintained by SRC except Gitanjali in its ICF days. Had a mixed experience of cleanliness.

Are you sure coromandel exp started in 1960 ??
It could be Howrah Chennai mail
It could be Howrah Chennai mail
Introduced by Indian Railways on March 6 in 1977, the Coromandel Express runs at a speed of 130 km/hr and covers a distance of 1659 kms between Shalimar railway station, West Bengal, and Chennai Central railway station, Tamil Nadu in 25 hrs and 30 minutes.05-Jun-2023
Coromondal exp started with diesel engine I'n 1977. Chennai Howrah mail is running in 1937 itself as said by the father who studied in history book of my grand father.
Great ,there was one more train from hwh to Chennai , named as Janta express
Now discontinued. Had opportunity to travel in that train long ago ( 1973 perhaps) in First class
Bsb to hwh in 6 up Punjab mail ,HWH to mas in janta express.Mail my dad could not get berth.
My father worked Indian railways( DLW)

Howrah Chennai Jonathan express destination changed to Tirupati when coromondal express is introduced and diverted via Bhinavaram when Guage conversion completed in late 1970s. After HWH yesvantpur express frequency increased to daily its now Tirupati Puri. The number and timings are almost same from the past 60 years 79/80.

A small correction.
As soon as the loco pilot pressed the emergency brake suddenly, due to high velocity of the train at 128kmph and suddenly emergency brake, the loco due to inertia of motion flied up and climbed over the freight train. As soon as the coupling with loco detached, there as a sudden jerk on LVPH Coach next to loco, it derailed and all subsequent coaches got derailed.
Train no 12864 was crossing at that point towards HWH, one of the derailed coaches of Coromondel hit the 2nd and...
