Re# 2906571-7              
Can you be a bit more specific? In the south, the entire train (Dhanbad/Tatanagar-Alleppey) is called as Bokaro express. The Tatanagar (18189) portion was started on the date I updated above - October 1st, 1970.
If you are talking about the portion that goes to Dhanbad (13351), it was started as Ranchi-Rourkela-Madras slip express connecting to the Tatanagar portion at Rourkela on November 1st, 1980. It was extended to Bokaro sometime between 1980-84 and later to Dhanbad in the early 2000's.

/blog/post/5595163 TATA/ROU was always a slip (whose 1970 inauguration isn't confirmed in your post). In 1983 TT, 89A TATA portion got clubbed at ROU to 89/90 Steel City (ex Bokaro via Hatia). 89/90 Steel City never started ex TATA (so never reversed ex ROU). TATA Slip must got introduced when 89/90 Steel City stopped touching HWH!!

Please refer to this press notification from South Central Railway for the timetable revision starting from 1st October, 1970.

It mentions that 89/90 Madras - Howrah express was to be diverted to run to Tatanagar via Vizianagaram.

2nd snippet is from the SER timetable of 1971. I've highlighted the 89 Madras - Tatanagar express in this. I can share the complete timetable from 1971 for this train if this isn't sufficient proof for you.

TATA portion was not a slip. It was the main train initially and was extended to Bokaro in 1975. The slip portion to Ranchi was introduced in 1980 and extended to Bokaro sometime between 1980 and 1984. During this time, the Tatanagar portion was designated as slip train.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
