When i look back into my life, i wonder how fast time has gone, how fast every thing around us changed. Was born and brought up in Warangal, as a kid i was so excited to travel in trains, but i rarely travelled as almost all my relatives stay in nearby towns and villages, within 100 kms range, the farthest destination was Hyderabad (it is just 130 kms away though) but for me as a kid it was too far :D I think...

Yes, there used to be stories about AP too like it covers KZJ to SC in 1 and half hour etc. Godavari travels just above 700 kms but gets priority over most of the trains on its route. I travelled by Godavari few times, especially between SC and BZA it is ruthless. It is very common for Godavari to cover SC KZJ 130 kms in less than 1 hr 45 mts and WL to BZA 203 Kms in less than 3 hrs. Quite few times it even over took present TN.
Nice to read. When I was a school boy, I went to Chennai central many times to send off my sister and her husband to Delhi. TN and Brindavan used to start early morning. Platform 1 was made long to accommodate TN. Coaches were numbered A, B, C, D, etc. Slowed down and dep changed to 10pm after that accident. TN was probably full diesel. GT got E-loco from MAS to NGP.
I went to Delhi probably in 1980. We went by GT, which was diverted (due to floods in main route) via Renigunta, Solapur, Daund, Manmad, Itarsi. WHile returning we came by TN along the main route. Enjoyed both trips so much.

Goosebumps. Extremely well-written! TN is an emotion for railfans across India it seems.
Definitely needs a speedup now.

Nice story. I have had the luxury of traveling in it both Mas-Ndls in 2011 and Ndls-Mas in 2017. TN to Ndls and Coromandel to Hwh were and still the best trains from Chennai
I travelled in TN express only once both UP & DN journey somewhere in the year 1992 January I think to attend my cousin's house warming ceremony at Sanik Farm in NDLS

Indian Railways had a revenue of ₹2.4 lakh Cr in FY23!
In terms of profit, East Costal Railway was the most profitable railway network in India.

भारतीय रेलवे एक सेवा का माध्यम अवश्य है किंतु समाज सेवा का माध्यम नही।
ECoR (Sun shining zone of IR): First in revenue generation, but least in developmental & new projects. Less route lengths, no more ELS etc.
But still IT will run more trains on GKP-LTT (NER loss making zone) than any other sector.

RailwayFiles~ 230 blog postsHow many days, weeks or months its been since these biggies TN, KL, TG, AP made it on or before time to New Delhi ? It looks like no longer these are a priority for NCR and NR zones even Bengaluru, Chennai, Secunderabad Rajadhani and Dutontos are not making it on time. Till Bhopal they are almost on time or slightly delayed and from there every train from southern side is trolled. Increased traffic is the reason ? or something else ? or is it just a common thing which can be ignored ?

Today Indore VB got overtaken by SBC Raj at Betul while AP maintained Lead over VB till Betul.. and CR allowed Raj to go ahead of VB at Betul..
Hope this situation improves afte MTJ work completes with MTJ AGC extra line
I have been observing the same. AP gets overtaken by TN before RDM everyday and re-overtakes TN post Bhopal, Mostly at Bina, if not before VGLJ. Not sure why this is required. They could have let AP arrive later than TN at BZA and follow it till ET. While TN stops at ET, AP is waiting at Jujharpur cabin and by that time VB is catching up causing a ripple effect of delays. Instead they could have let AP bypass ET and overtake TN. Arrival time at BPL for AP can be slightly ahead of TN. This way, both trains wont be victims of VB.
Actually after gudur - balharshah tripling works sr is planning for tamil nadu express speed up delhi side 30 min and chennai side 40 min so that is the reason they are not messing with tamil nadu express TT as of now
