My love for you started when someone told us about you are getting inaugurated (cant remember the year) and that you have very few halts like a Rajdhani train. I immediately fell in love with you. I made you my companion for all my journeys (barring 2-3). I remember getting down at DDU (erstwhile MGS) at 1:25 am and waiting for the 5 am passenger train to Zamania still you were my first preference and you always will be. You now started stopping at my home station making it easier for me. I generally prefer LHB coaches but your ICF coaches are still acceptable and you will still be my companion for next journey. Love you 12141 12142 forever.

Okay sir. I was not born back in the 1977 :)
but I do recall my late grandfather (who worked as an engineer in Steam Loco Shed Jabalpur) telling me GK was a Superfast long time back (it was downgraded to Express in early 90's I guess). I do not know, when Ratnagiri stopped skipping Katni but back in mid-2000's it certainly had a Katni halt. May be wrong here.

Satna...

has always been a point for crew change of almost every train. ET ALD is unusual for having short haul crews. ET, JBP, STA are all crew change points (which are relatively short distances). Only LTT-ALD Duronto when introduced had single crew for ET-STA skipping JBP. For, LTT-PNBE Superfast it was needed as the next crew change would happen at Mughal Sarai

Ratnagiri skipped Katni in 2008 (I enjoyed this skip when I traveled in Dec 2008). I think the halt was given in 2014 or so.

Hi Everyone,

A bit of trivia I came to know through an uncle who is a retired CR official (he was ADRM of Mumbai division).

The train was proposed to the...

Railway Board by CR as CR's own version of a certain crack Superfast of SOUTH EASTERN Railways that had a Rajdhani like schedule. Hence, even the numbering 2141 back then was done to mimic 2841 i.e., Coromandel Express.

So Coromandel was inspiration for 2141/42 LTT-PNBE, then 2141/42 became inspiration for Sampoorna Kranti Exp, then Sampoorna Kranti became the inspiration for Sampark Kranti Express.

So all Sampark Kranti trains can trace its lineage to Coromandel Express.

Useful
One can interpret it that way. But yes, from what all I have heard regarding it's inauguration, Coromandel was launched as a Rajdhani equivalent of East Coast. It could not get the official Rajdhani tag as it was not travelling to Delhi. Back then, it would cover the distance between HWH-MAS in 25 hours both ways. Take a look at its original TT. People like Mani Vijay Sir, who were present in 1977 can comment better. I was born in 1988. :)
