Yes indeed. Old is really gold. I still remember those non AC First Class compartments, in which I travelled extensively in early stage of my career. Being 'junior' we were not allowed to travel 2-AC ! But I still think that First Class was real luxury... !!
It brings back a lot of old memories. Travelled by this Rajadhani train in 1995 around the same time till Chennai. It was a great experience. Both Chennai and Trivandrum served by the same Rajadhani express.. Thanks once again Navaneeth
This stomach lamped WAP 1 22009 is still serving in Arakkonam loco shed and aged as much as 35 years and still running between Chennai Kanyakumari or Saptagiri express or some passenger trains of Chennai Chengleput Arakkonam triangle. This beautiful monster jostling @130KM more smarter than WAP5 and WAP 7 and your footage is very great thanks for your presentation.
Beautiful video, sir. You are also a legend , coz of your videos, great see TN Express standing in style, old it's own colour, I must hv gone sevral times in this route , never got bored . Thank you.
Awesome memories sir !! Delhi-Jhansi in 4 hrs 10 mins, Delhi-Bhopal in 7.5 hrs and Delhi-Itarsi in 9 hrs !! Such Great Run 🙌 Btw sir what happened after Itarsi and missed Betul and Hoshangabad skip in this !!
Till 6.50pm day has not became dark. Great video indeed. B4 electrification TN exp was hauled by twin wdms from ED loco shed. Pranking deer was the symbol. Lovely 👌👌👍👍👏👏👏
Sir, I have a childhood 1990s experience of the Delhi-Mathura stretch by then BCT & AK Raj trains. My Father during his engineering college life days in the late 1960s used to travel beyond Mathura on this route to Warangal by either GT or AP Exp trains. Your footplating video is lovely. The Wappie was popular with Taj Exp & Bhopal Shatabdi in those days 🤗
Awesome video! I wonder since when did TN/Kerala get "normal" rust-brown colored livery, because I distinctly remember them both (as well as GT) having distinct liveries amongst the Southern trains back in the 80s. Despite living in Trivandrum for several years, I boarded the Kerala Express just once from BZA to TVC (used to travel almost exclusively by Coro & TVC-MAS mail back then), and I remember being amazed at how "wide" the windows were even in ordinary Second Class in the Kerala Express. It had a twin diesel engine and a fantastic livery (yellow-green I think), but it was always late back then (very long distance trains running late by 3 hours was very normal and expected back then).
Thanks! Kerala did have that wonderful green-yellow livery in the 80s with twin-diesels. In the late 80s, this was changed to cream-orange. By the mid 90s, all these trains - TN, GT, Karnataka, etc. - acquired a cream-brown livery.
Covering 700km of distance from Nizamuddin to bhopal in just 7.5 hrs with avg speed of over 93kmph , so freaking fast man !!! Even modern now days rajdhani cannot achieve this feet !! Even India's fastest shatabdi , Bhopal shatabadi takes 8 hrs .
Sir I used to travel in Guwahati rajdhani (now dibrugarh rajdhani ) a lot in 1998-2007 ... It really bring back good old memories 😊 do you have vedio which have interior of rajdhani .Thanks

Sir, was it arrived late at Nagpur because it took approx 6.5 hours from BPL to NGP, btw this video shows the real the charm of rajdhani, the real pride of IR, not like today's gatiman & VB.

Sir only 6 platforms while 250 train daily pass through here and more than 300 train in weekly thanks sir for sharing your #Bhopal station experience (dil se thanks)❤️🇮🇳
@@ManiVijay Sir, NCR has probably demolished the platforms of Raja Ki Mandi station to lay extra tracks for speeding up & decongesting the Delhi-Jhansi section 🤔
Nice to see old tvc Rajdhani Sir. So, the loco change to diesel n vice versa happened at Erode right? Another interesting fact is that Palghat lost several trains when Konkan route was opened although it happened for good.
Yes, the loco change used to happen at Erode. It's true that Palghat lost trains due to KR. There are trying to rectify it with trains such as Dadar-TEN Exp., Hisar-CBE Exp.
@@ManiVijay But those are all weekly ones?? There is a lot of Patronage Demand for Dadar Tirunelveli express. Instead, they reduced the count of coaches. Palghat and Coimbatore desperately needs spme fast and Marquee trains
90s 2000s me jo trains me 2005 or 2006 maza ata tha railways journey aj wo maza ni ata kyunki station pe yellow ni hein ab or led light ka use ho rha he kuch sal pehle florescent light hoti wo achi lgti thi stations me zada tez light ni hona chaiye kam roshni ho na chaiye ta. Bhi acha lgta he

Old is gold always. Your videos are Memories forever sir.
Yes indeed. Old is really gold. I still remember those non AC First Class compartments, in which I travelled extensively in early stage of my career. Being 'junior' we were not allowed to travel 2-AC ! But I still think that First Class was real luxury... !!

I miss non AC First Class so much. It used to be the ideal way to travel - no AC and privacy as well.

20:27 Beautiful ALCO
REALLY #OLD IS GOLD
But which is This Train at bhopal outer 8:55
Thanks! I am wondering that trains was the late running Kushinagar Exp.
The OG rail vlogger
Thanks mani vijay for uploading this video after a long gap ....So which state do you belong to
Glad you enjoyed it! I am a Tamilian but born in Varanasi.
Sir back then the coachenumber did not refer to the year of build?
TN had some coaches with numbers starting 99.
Correct. At that time, coach numbers did not have the year of manufacture.
Really great & such wonderful days with cream maroon,red liveried coaches,wdm 2,WAP 1 wag 5 & wam 4. No WAP 4,5,7 or emds, wdm 3d.
Thanks!
Wonderful video sir ji.I want to know have u ever travelled by paschim express, or by golden temple?
Thanks! Unfortunately, I am yet to travel by Paschim or Frontier Mail. But I have traveled quite a bit in Deluxe - predecessor of Poorva.
Lovely, thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it.
Nostalgic video. Great job sir
Thanks!
Itarsi once had such greenery. These are gone forever.
That's sad!
He is the first rail fan from India who shoooted video
Seriously I am amazed that train those days also had 21 coaches. I guess many premium trains had 16 or 18 coaches
TN was one of few trains that got 21 coaches towards the end of 1970s itself, when it became double-headed.
Wow ICF rajdhani😍
too bad they're history
Super!
Thanks!
That Nostalgic WAM4 horn
Amazing video of those days i m also a crazy rail fan , please upload Tamilnadu express full journey of olden days if you have, Thank you.
Thanks! Here is a playlist of my Tamilnadu trip in 2000 - ruclips.net/p/PL7PK7JnJ8it5Asd02BJot59lPhfVwuRhV
@@ManiVijay thank you so much and regards.....
Thanks for uploading
You are welcome.
Sir, was it arrived late at Nagpur because it took approx 6.5 hours from BPL to NGP, btw this video shows the real the charm of rajdhani, the real pride of IR, not like today's gatiman & VB.
Yes, it got delayed by around 45 mts, mostly at a station called Metpanjra. There was a certain charm in Rajdhanis at that time with that nice livery.
@@ManiVijay absolutely correct sir, really missing those days, kash wo purane din wapas aa paate😔☹️
ur r the one legend
Thanks a lot! I am just a regular crazy railfan 😃.
This train was firstly running via BPQ NGP currently running via Goa panvel kota. In itarsi stn announce NZM MAS RAJDHANI EXP arrived?????
12:28 wow 😍
Narmada was in spate and looks frightening, right?
Awesome coverage 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍
Thanks!
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
oho kiya bath he
super video
Dhanyavaad! Aapko trains mein dilchaspi hai?
Nice video
Wow that time both Tamil Nadu & Kerala Exp had 4 AC Coaches, whereas all other trains had one or maximum two...
True.
Also TN Express was one of the rare non Rajdhani trains to have multiple coaches of AC. Rest of them used to have only one.
True.
Small concern, some train caches built in 98 & 99(other platforms in different stations) but ur saying video took in 1995?/
Good observation. Back then, the coach numbers did not necessarily correspond to the year of manufacture.
Is that the current Trivandrum rajdhani which is currently running via konkan panvel Vasai route
Because this route is different?
That was an extension of MAS Rajdhani. Present TVC Rajdhani was introduced in 1998 after KR was commissioned.
Yes it is the same Rajadhani train, they shifted the route when Konkan railway was opened and Madras got a separate one.
Amazing!!!!
Thanks!
Good old memories..
Very true.
Do u have any videos of SECR region around Bilaspur Junction?
I have videos of my HWH-CSTM Duronto trip in August 2011. ruclips.net/video/VfB3eK2VCvQ/видео.html , ruclips.net/video/e_vaB8frilk/видео.html , ruclips.net/video/-GkklT9BizY/видео.html

Wow. , Tamil nadu express was having 4 AC coaches at that time , I dont see any train having more than 2 AC coach in this video
Yes. Tamilnadu, Kerala, Karnataka, AP all were 21 coachers and had 4 AC coaches.
Nice capture sir📷
Thanks!
Kya uss time ye train bhopal hokar jati thi?
Haan, tab KR nahin tha.
@@ManiVijay at that time No youtube is there.So how you publish your videos?
Sir I am from bhopal I born in -1995 Bhopal 🚉 station nothing changed ❤️❤️
Doesn't it have more platforms now?
Sir only 6 platforms while 250 train daily pass through here and more than 300 train in weekly thanks sir for sharing your #Bhopal station experience (dil se thanks)❤️🇮🇳
@@ManiVijay Sir, NCR has probably demolished the platforms of Raja Ki Mandi station to lay extra tracks for speeding up & decongesting the Delhi-Jhansi section 🤔
Really miss those time red coloured coaches
Me too. That was the best Rajdhani livery ever.
Sir when is your next video upload.
Any idea on what was Trivandrum Rajdhanis stoppages in Kerala ?
It used to be Erode and Ernakulam only. Then Palghat got added.
Nice video sir jii 😁
Thanks!
Nice
Thanks
Brilliant
Thanks!
Waiting for part 3
Eagerly
Working on it :-)
10:00 I miss when bhudni ghats used to be so green
Doesn't it look green in monsoon even now?
@@ManiVijay yeah but now they're builing roads through the forest...greenery is receding slowly

Bhai log slums aur cachra kidhar b nh dikh raha. Tarkki ne desh ko dumping ground bana diya h..
Haan, tab utna bheed nahin tha.
Old style box cars like toys.....🤣
Sas to see an obvious lack of asthetic sense nowadays. Aaj kal people dont care about things like liveries. The new lhb liveries look garbage now.
And what about part 3
Working on it :-)
Bhopal is same.
I think it has more platforms now, right?
1:04 !!!
Sabarmati Express.
Trivandrum rajdhani go from Nagpur-vijaywada-chennai route how it come in WR
After commissioning of KR, it was rerouted via WR-KR.
All coach looking smoked black due carelessness of lndian railway and it is rajdhani express
I agree that the maintenance could have been better but it is not that appalling compared to the Bangalore Raj of nowadays.

Nice
Thanks!
