could have done even better but due to certain constraints we managed to achieve only this much. Thanks to all my fellow railfans who worked really hard. We are grateful to the officials of Eastern Railway who made the process much smoother despite their busy schedules specially DGM (G) Sir & Sr. DCM Sir / HWH. Also, thanks to all the contributors & all those who supported us wholeheartedly.

The wonderful train board was designed by our fellow rail enthusiast, Sahil Kamdi from Nagpur.
