From Passengers to Express to SF. If Coalfield was upto Gmo why did they short terminate it to Dhanbad.

Re# 4709001-5              
It is believed that the slow train appearing in govt records as Howrah Gomoh Express (passenger train according to some people) was converted into a fast service during 1960 and named as Coalfield Express. The train was converted to Superfast from June 2006. The reason of s/term. at DHN is not known.
