Extreme Departure and Arrival Times
by Rabibrata, May 2005
With additions from other IRFCA members
Most trains depart from or arrive at their termini at fairly reasonable hours -- during the day or the evening. However, a small number of trains have what may be termed 'extreme' arrival or departure times where they begin on their journey or arrive at their destination at unearthly hours after midnight. Trains with arrivals between midnight and 4am and departures between midnight and 5am have been listed below.
The lists are as of May 2005.
