How the mighty have fallen!
I used to travel on this train to visit my uncle in the holidays over 50 years ago. It was THE Mail. It used to be the best train of its day, but now, like some septuagenarian actor, it has a small bit part while other trains steal the limelight. It one of the few trains with a dining car attached all the way. You watch the spectacle at Nagpur of the sectional coaches and CR dining car being taken off and the SER coaches added. The SER bearers were probably the smartest turned out anywhere in India.
