.

More than 3 hours late running 18029 Mumbai Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT)- Shalimar (SHM) Fast Passenger... err... I mean, Express headed by a beautifully twin tone honking 22377 WAP-4E of Howrah shed cruises through the Down Main line at Ghoraghata on SER's KGP-HWH stretch enroute. Seemed the elder brother of SRC Wappie...
more... was fed up of doing duty with the Super-Crawler, and wanted to return to the shed as soon as possible.
The train uses the LTT- Kalyan- Manmad- Bhusaval- Akola- Badnera- Nagpur- Gondia- Durg- Raipur- Bilaspur- Jharsaguda- Rourkela- Tatanagar- Kharagpur- Santragachi- Shalimar route, and takes 38 hours 25 minutes to cover the 1947 kms with an irritating 81 halts enroute. The train is still popularly known as KURLA Express.
