Certain things I found that deserves mention I would like to share with other members and respected admins and moderator.

As far as i remember i don't think so. Because I have at least 8 times traveled in this train since I resided at Jalandhar for two years and didn't come across such coach before in 3AC
I loved your trip report. Kindly post some more photos and videos from this train journey if you have taken. It seems that even after 2 years since I have traveled, nothing much has changed for this train... security situation is pathetic and it is still known for it's MPS and Cleanliness. I think that the station where your train stopped was Alamnagar just before Lucknow NR. It seems that this train is the best to travel between Jalandhar - Dhanbad, Amritsar - Lucknow, Varanasi - Calcutta or any other station journey combo :-)
