57/58 is Mumbai Amritsar Express (Terminal was Dadar then)
79/80 is Taj (Used to run till Agra Cantt)
149/150 is Mahakoushal (Its name was Kutub back then)

Synopsis:

Taj Express today also takes the same amount of time between NDLS and AGC as it used to take back then. Timings were more convenient at that time from NDLS to AGC.

Mahakoushal is slowed down in NZM VGLB Section and even timings were better then.

Rest all the trains are speeded up.
