A few interesting points in Pakistan : 1) Where exactly is this Torra Nigga Nala? I thought that the last town in Pakistan before the border is Tor Kham. Are they the same? 2) There is no bridge across the Chenab between Lyallpur (Faisalabad) and Sargodha. 3) The loop line from Sibi reaches Bostan, with the line between Khanai and Bostan most probably being double BG & NG. In most recent maps, the line is shown to terminate at Khost. 4) Hindubagh in now Muslimbagh. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2010 Sep 05 05:33:26 +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. Posted by Ajai Banerji on 2010 Sep 04 10:47:53 +0000 |

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 |
