Mahanadi Exp: Legend that has been forgotten!
Mahanadi Exp (Introduced as 925/926 later changed to 8225/6) used to ran via ET on a triweekly basis and it's rake was shared by Amarkantak Exp (Introduced as 953/954 later changed to 8253/4), which also ran on a triweekly basis to BPL, but via JBP. Later in 2005, citing poor patronage of Mahanadi Exp. Railway decided to cancel it and made Amarkantak Exp daily from durg. In 2008-09 Amarkantak Exp was upgraded to superfast and renumbered as 2853/4. Presently train numbered as 12853/4 according to new numbering system of IR.

Still Amarkantak has lots of rush. Now with addition of dedicated pantry car, one more sleeper or gs will be discontinued.
