WAP-4s' scrimmage!! Chennai A.C. Inaugural Special greets Geetanjali with venomous aggression!!
.
.
Watch out for the tussle between the two 5350 hp iron monsters from SRC (Santragachi) shed. Beautifully garlanded 22373 WAP- 4 charges down the up main line of Changail station on SER's Howrah- Kharagpur stretch with the 02807 Santragachi (SRC)- Chennai Central (MAS) A.C. Superfast Inaugural Special. And while doing
...
more...
so, it also greets the 12859 Mumbai C.S.T. (CSTM) GEETANJALI Superfast Express hauled by another WAP- 4, which simply butchered through the reversible line.
The Special will follow the Santragachi- Kharagpur- Bhadrakh- Cuttack- Bhubaneshwar- Khurdah Road- Vizianagaram- Vishakapatnam- Samalkot- Rajahmundry- Vijayawada- Nellore- Gudur- Chennai Central route. From nect week, it will become permanent as 22807/ 22808 Santragachi (SRC)- Chennai Central (MAS) Bi-Weekly A.C. Superfast Express.
Rabindranath Tagore a famous poet of India wrote the book Geetanjali. Since this train, too, starts from Bengal, thus it has been given the same name. People love the train as much the book. It was introduced by then Railway Minister Prof. Madhu Dandvate on 26 December 1977.
As a matter of fact, the whole rake of this train belongs to ECoR (since it has RSA with 18410 Puri- Kolkata Howrah Junction SRI JAGANNATH Express), but the Pantry Car belongs to SER (since 18410 does not have Pantry service). Btw, this train uses the Kalyan Junction- Bhusaval Junction- Akola Junction- Badnera Junction- Nagpur Junction- Durg Junction- Raipur Junction- Bilaspur Junction- Rourkela Junction- Tatanagar Junction- Kharagpur Junction- Kolkata Howrah Junction route.

Re# 965162-9              
Many Rail Fans like me were dreaming of a Rajdhani Type Fully AC Train between Howrah & Madras (Chennai MAS). Santragachi is the newly preferred terminal for SER in Howrah District so it's the chosen source from the Eastern End of this train's route. I was only thinking that does this train require stoppages at Bhadrak, Balasore, Tadepalligudem, Ongole & Nellore ?? I also feel that Pantry Food Charge is not included in ticket as it's not a Duronto or Rajdhani Train... anyways, all the best to this LHB 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...
