But trains is not a rare thing to see at Dangoaposi Station. 4 Regular Express Trains and 3 Regular Passenger Trains, i.e. 7 Trains pass through Dangoaposi Station. Up and down they make a total of 14 trains. I think Mr. Afraaz Suhail meant that two trains standing at Dangoaposi Station at the same time is a rare thing to see here. Yes, it is a rare thing. But nowadays it is fast becoming not a rare thing.
1. In first half, Train No. 58109 (Tata - Gua Passenger) and Train No. 18415 (Bbn - Puri Express) can be seen daily standing at the same time at Dangoaposi Station with both heading at the same direction, if both are not late....

It is intentionally done so that people from Tata - Gua Passenger can catch the Bbn - Puri Express. Tata - Gua always stands in Platform No. 1 while Bbn -Puri stands on Platform No. 2.
2. Regularly, the Vskp - Tata Weekly Express (Train No. 18516) and Ckp - Bbn Express (Train No. 18403) arrive at Dangoaposi at the same time (Monday). Vskp - Tata is placed on Platform No. 2, while the Ckp - Bbn Express is placed on Platform No. 1.
3. Sometimes, the Tata - Gua Demu Passenger (Train No. 78033) arrives at Platform 1 while the Bbn - Ckp Express (Train No. 18404) arrives at Platform No. 2 at Dangoaposi at the same time.
4. Rarely, the Gua - Tata Passenger (Train No. 58110) is overtaken by the Bbn - Hwh Jan Shatabdi Express (Train No. 12022) at Dangoaposi. This is done by placing Gua - Tata on Platform 1 and the Jan Shatabdi on Platform No. 2. Usually this overtaking is done at Maluka Station, the Station after Dangoaposi towards Chaibasa.
5. On 13 June, 2015, the Hte - Vskp Garib Rath Special (Train No. 08677) arrived Dangoaposi Platform No. 1 at 15:00 Hrs (2 Mins before time) and left at 15:07 Hrs (Right time) while the Bbn - Hwh Jan Shatabdi (Train No. 12022) arrived at Dangoaposi Platform No. 2 at 15:05 Hrs (20 Mins late) and left at 15:07 Hrs (20 Mins Late). This was really a rare scene to see a Garib Rath and a Jan Shatabdi both standing together at Dangoaposi Station at the same time. They both stood together for full 2 Mins and left together. As I was standing near the RRI Building of Dangoaposi Station, I could not get any suitable position to capture both the train in one click from my mobile phone Camera and sadly missed the rare shot.

When I boarded this train from Tatanagar, no one was in the last two General Coaches and the metal shutters of all their windows were also down. Even in all the Sleeper Coaches except about 8 windows in total 9 Sleeper Coaches, all other windows had their metal shutters down due to lack of passengers. I entered one General Coach, selected a suitable seat and sat down after raising its metal shutter. Later about 5 men entered the coach and sat beside me. They had taken General ticket from Tata to Bhubaneswar, a journey of about 9 hours. When the general coaches are so empty, people can take general ticket and go in general coach by sleeping in its seats! Why to take reservation in sleeper? Only fact is that this causes loss to the Railways and also shows low reservation in the reserved coaches and leads to cancellation of such...

special trains. One discrepancy I noticed is that in this website (indiarailinfo) the general fare from Tatanagar to Dangoaposi had shown as Rs.70 but when I took the ticket from Tata Railway Station, it costed to me Rs.55 only? Why was this discrepancy?
