Notes
- # : Trains marked with '#' are down trains bound for Howrah/Burdwan.
- @ : The Kanchenjungha Exp sometimes changes locos at Burdwan, but often continues through Burdwan without changes (diesel-hauled).
- The Coalfield Exp. seems to get Kanpur WAP-4 locos that arrive with the 2302 Rajdhani, returning by the Coalfield Exp. to Dhanbad. Such WAP-4 locos return the following day with the Coalfield and are then used by the returning Rajdhani.
