It is a small city, but important enough to stage ODI cricket matches. India played a match there in the 2003 World Cup, and the cricketers did make a special trip to see these exhibits.

The 72 Fast Passenger was the one I took in 1970 on a school trip to Varanasi, Nepal, Patna and Gaya. This train took us from Varanasi to Muzaffarpur, from where our chartered coach was attached to another Passenger to Sagauli, and then finally to a third one to Raxaul. On the return journey, we were attached to a Raxaul - Sagauli Passenger, and then another Passenger which went upto Pahlezaghat. From here we crossed the Ganga on a steamer to Mahendru Ghat (Patna).

Thanks. I must add that just being there was a very emotionally moving experience for me. Impossible to describe in words, or capture through the lens.
