One of my fav trains. I have few memories to share about this train.
1. We would take this train from New Farakka to go to Calcutta. It would arrive by around 9 PM to reach Sealdah early by around 5-6 AM
2. It was few trains in India during 1990-92 to have Steam engine as a loco. I remember that it used to run on Steam engine till Bardhawaan
3.

From Bardhwaan it used to get Electric Loco till Sealdah
4. Never had any AC coach till 1992 (last when I traveled)
5. I used to get down with my family at Bardwaan to go to Raniganj. Generally Asansol Bardhwaan passenger was our preferred train.
6. It was single track over Farakka Bridge and only two platform at Farakka, with second platform being on the ground. Getting down at Farakka while coming from Bardhwaan used to be a problem as always.
This train was and will always be my favorite.
