and videos are taken by me except the pic of the Rajdhani Express. It was me who was standing, and the pic was taken by my sister. My love is our beloved railways... So dedicating this Valentine Mashup to no one other than IR.. This 400th video of mine includes the elite group of trains, including Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto. A few ER and NR trains which can be spotted are- Sealdah Rajdhani Express Howrah Rajdhani Express (via Gaya) Howrah Rajdhani Weekly Express (via Patna) Sealdah New Delhi Duronto Express Howrah New Delhi Duronto Express Amritsar Shatabdi Express with LHB coaches Amritsar Swarna Shatabdi Express with IRI IR-20 coaches Howrah- Ranchi Shatabdi Express with ICF coaches. Locations: Baruipara, Madhusudanpur, Jalandhar Cantt., Panipat, Nichitpur, Bally and Hajigarh. RAJDHANI: Rajdhani Express is a passenger train service in India connecting New Delhi with other important destinations, especially state capitals. Rajdhani means "The Capital" in Hindi and other Indian Languages. Rajdhani Express was introduced in 1969, for providing fast connections from various railway stations in the capital city of New Delhi to the capital cities of various states in India (or, in certain cases, prominent cities within the state the train serves). The first Rajdhani Express left New Delhi station for Howrah station to cover a distance of 1,445 km in 16 hours 55mins. These trains get the highest priority on the Indian railway network. They are fully air-conditioned. Passengers are served complimentary meals during the journey. Depending on the duration and timings of the journey, these could include lunch, high tea, dinner, morning tea and breakfast. SHATABDI: Shatabdi Express trains are a series of fast passenger trains operated by Indian Railways to connect Metro cities with other cities important for tourism, pilgrimage or business. Shatabdi Express are day-trains and they return to the station of origin the same day. The Shatabdis are among the fastest trains in India and the Indian Railways considers them as prestigious. The Shatabdi Express trains run over short to medium distances while the Rajdhani Expresses are long-distance trains connecting the nation's capital New Delhi to capitals of states. The 12001 Bhopal Shatabdi express runs at a peak speed of 150 km/h (93 mph), which makes it the fastest train in India. The word "Shatabdi" means centenary in Sanskrit, Hindi and several Indian languages. The first Shatabdi train was started in 1988 to commemorate the centenary of Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru's Birthday (the First Prime Minister of India) by Madhav Rao Scindia, minister for railways. It operated from New Delhi to Jhansi, later extended to Bhopal. It is now known as the Bhopal Shatabdi Express. DURONTO: Duronto Express ("Rebel" or "rebellious" or "Restless"in a positive way) is a category of long distance trains run by the Indian Railways. The special feature of these trains is that they run non-stop from source to destination, barring technical halts. All Duronto Express trains can be easily recognized by the characteristic yellow-green livery of their passenger coaches. Several Duronto Express services connect the metros and major state capitals of India. The Duronto Express trains are projected to be the fastest trains between the particular pair of cities they serve, although this is not necessarily true for all services. The Duronto Expresses are one of the fastest trains in India. These trains runs non-stop from originating station to terminating stations with a few technical halts in between. The first Duronto ran between Sealdah and New Delhi, and it broke the record of the fastest journey between Delhi and Kolkata by defeating the record of Howrah Rajdhani. Till date, it is India's second fastest train, and the fastest Duronto.
