A small trip report: the train departed NDLS bang ontime. The coaches were ICF type. Well maintained. After settling down i my cabin, went outside to see the loco. My coach was the 2nd from loco after generator car. Fortunately happen to meet chief maintenance engineer of rake Mr Baradwaj while watching the pre departure checks and formalities at station. A very humble and honest person. He explained how much he is putting effort to maintain the ICF rake and his passion was vivid in conversation.
After departure water was served follow soup with bread sticks, bun, butter, tomato souce. Very nice taste and presentation. After that dinner was served. I opted veg containing panner curry, mixed veg curry, rotis, pickles,...
more... tomato rice, dal fry, green salad.very tasty . Follow fruits and ice cream and finally the mouth refresher. Food quality, quantity and presentation was excellent. After food I could keep my self awake and went to sleep. Though the loco kept honking all the way but the sound did not disturb my sleep.
When I wokeup by reminder of coach attendent I was at Jammu station before time arrival.
It was very nice journey. 10 on 10 to indian railways for the services. I strongly recommend and will use this service agin in future. Thanks for reading.
