Please Explain Why Reverse Rake Is Used In 12589/60 For Eg 12859 Departs From Csmt At 6am With Cc Of Slrd Gs 2a 3a But Why Same Rake Is Used In 12860 From Howrah To Mumbai Means Why Again Coach Composition Starts From Slrd 2a 3a

Re# 6002946-1              
Basic interpretation you may figure out

Maybe all rakes have different Composition. One person spotted one CC, updated it on 12860. Another person spotted another CC another day and updated it for 12859. As simple as that

Yes. My father is onboard Dakshin Express yesterday i.e. on Saturday. And it departed 40 mins late from source.
For things like this, SECR is doing wonderful job compared to SCR.
