The Original name of VAPI Railway Station was Damaun Road ( Daman as of now a days)
Vapi was a very small village and Daman was Portugees Colony during British Raj and hence can be easily understood the name.
Later it was Named as Vapi.
My question is:
When
...
more...
the name Vapi was given to Daman Road?
Daman was not a part of India until 19 December 1961
Was during this time ( 1947 – 1961) the Name Vapi was changed ??
Any historical perspective?
Here is attached the Time Table and Gazzete Copy of 4th November 1864.

Interesting facts:
1. Silver Jubilee Rail Bridge was commissioned only during 1935: click here
2. Golden bridge (Road) on River Narmada did not exist till 1881.
Thus ferry crossings until both bridges were built.

Why is electric loco not given from Erode to Guntakal ? And also Pune to Ahmedabad? Railways can save diesel fuel and reduce emission.

They can provide an extra stop at DD and run ADI-DD & WADI-ED on e-loco.
IR could also do this for KR trains passing via BRC where the change to e-Loco could take place at PNVL.

3000 kms, 60+ hrs journey time end-to end with one of the most neglected long distance SF train passing Delhi with scrap dirty coaches and no pantry car.
This train desperately needs an LHB rake replacement with a pantry car.

    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...
