#EkDinKaSultan - Part 2 (The Signature)
It all started with the Rajdhani; then followed Shatabdi nineteen years later. After that it's like a floodgate got opened. Jan Shatabdi, Sampark Kranti, Garib Rath, Suvidha, Duronto, Yuva, Double Decker, Kaviguru, Rajya Rani, Vivek, Maha Mana, Gatimaan, Tejas, Humsafar, Uday, Antyadaya - all came like a procession. Whoever has become rail minister in last 20- 25 years, has left a signature by these trains. Some of these trains have become flop, some of them have been victimized by politics, some still stand tall.

    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.
