171/172 did not allow passengers betwen BCT and NDLS in those days. From BCT, the shortest point allowed was Ambala Jn! Posted by Shirish Paranjape on 2010 Aug 27 07:54:53 +0000 |

My thoughts, exactly! The 171/172 was an absolute class train - schedule, halt pattern, livery, prestige - it had all! Posted by Mani Vijay on 2010 Aug 26 12:32:37 +0000 |

have travelled MG Vaishali from Siliguri to Lucknow Jn in summer of 1979. Took 2 nights and one day to cover the distance. The onward journey was Avadh Tirhout Mail (AT Mail) listed here. Thanks Mani, it is a memorable TT for me. Posted by Aseem Johri on 2010 Aug 26 01:34:35 +0000 |

On the "tourist spots" pages inside the book, the falls are shown with a snake in the foreground, next to the Saputara writeup. Saputara is a small hill station on the Gujarat - Maharashtra border, accessible both from Bilimora and Nasik. Does anyone who has visited here know about any falls in the vicinity?

@Trayambak: This is not "WR" Time Table. It is "Western Zone" Time Table which includes WR, CR, NWR and WCR, so there is nothing wrong in showing a CR train on the cover. Posted by Karan Desai on 2010 Jul 13 07:13:32 +0000 |

And the biggest heist is the cover pic. WCAM3 are CR locos and the train it is hauling is the HWH-CSTM Duronto another CR train. Posted by Trayambak Ojha on 2010 Jul 13 06:14:54 +0000 |
Note that the original owner in the 1930s has scribbled some numbers (probably dates of his travels) in various places such as Karachi and Rohri.
