I feel that's how things should be. New coaches should be equally distributed among most of trains rather than only some getting them.

SER is & SECR doesn't want to run Passenger trains. I guess by 2029 SER & SECR will hand over their trains to ER, ECoR, WCR, CR & SCR.

Pictures of Gitanjali Express from my today's trip from Howrah to Tatanagar. I got 60 LB and 57 LB was Emergency Exit. As the passenger of 57 was to board from KGP, I sat on 57 and had an awesome journey today. These are only Gitanjali pictures. Other pictures to be followed in the next blog.Last pictures is of HWH bound Gitanjali 😎. Link of my Gitanjali was ET WAP 4 25029. HWH end EOG was of 19 made. You can see the small TB is still blank. HWH end GEN was of Antyodaya and B1 was of Duronto liveried. Lucky day for me. I also spotted ET WAP 7 for the first time when SRC bound HBJ HS xed us before JGM with ET P7 39007 (Bond) in the lead.

Yes. Those things were pretty on all these day. But a joke, a light thing I shared with my friend has hurt the sentiments of some people. Sirf issi baat se hurt hogaya toh aur serious cheezein kaise handle karega.

Previously the option was of Train Picture in which interiors of the train, toilets can be uploaded. Now the rule changed to Train Board only.
So old pictures are not removed
