Poorabiya Express: कोसी की शान से दिल्ली महान तक - Md Rashid Alam

Yo, so originally there was this BKSC-MAS express with like a side service from TATA, ya know. It was a South Eastern Railway (SER) train but ADRA division didn't really care for the pitline in BKSC, so the train kinda fell into disrepair. ER took over maintenance and extended the route to DHN_ER, renaming it as 13351.

Bokaro's a funky situation man, can't believe such a city has no trains starting or ending there. The whole scene with BSL and the platform issue plus SER and ADRA's indifference ain't helping. Dhanbad's got some good luck with ER's ASN Division, getting them pitlines and all.

Dhanbad still benefits a ton from ASN Division, yo, no doubt. That's why I always thought turning DHN into its own division was a bit whack. It'd probably be better if DHN just rolled back into ASN, you dig?

Hit up the BKSC crew for more deets on this.

Yeh pehle BKSC-MAS express tha jiska slip service TATA se tha agar mujhe kuch galat nahi lag raha. Originally SER train hone ke baawajood, ADRA division ka BKSC ke pitline ke prati udasinta ke kaaran yeh train acchi tarah se dekha nahi gaya aur bilkul kharab ho gaya. Is train ka mukhya maintenance tab ER ko diya gaya aur train ko DHN_ER tak badhaya gaya aur train ka number badal kar 13351 kar diya gaya.

BKSC ek ajeeb mamla hai jaha ek saath kai karanon ka mishran hai jo Bokaro jaise sheher ko abhi tak kisi train ka hissa banne ya shuru hone se rokta hai. Chahe wo BSL ke saath zameen ka mamla ho jo BKSC mein platformon ki sankhya mein jutified vriddhi ko mana kar raha hai, ya phir SER aur ADRA division ka uspar samany udasinta. Is samasya ko aur bhi bhadakane waala hai Dhanbad ke kamzor riyasati lobbi, jiske Union Legislative seat BKSC hai.

Dhanbad kuch tareeke se lucky hua, sthal achha tha aur ER ke ASN Division, aur phir Dhanbad Division vaastav mein kshetra ke liye laabhkari tha. Isi wajah se Dhanbad aur Gomoh ke liye pitlines mili.

Dhanbad ASN Division se ab bhi bahut saare laabh prapt karta hai, yeh ek vyavhaarik tathya hai. Yahi wajah hai ki main hamesha mehsoos karta hoon ki DHN Division pehle ASN Division se nahi banna chahiye tha. Yadi DHN ASN mein punah sthapit ho jata toh yeh ab bhi laabhprad hoga.

Maine BKSC ke sadasyon ko tag kiya hai, jo is vishay par vistrit taur par vistarit kar sakte hain.

Back in the day, the train used to go from Tatanagar to Chennai, stopping at various places. It went through some changes over the years, like splitting into two parts - one going via Ranchi-Hatia and the other via Chakradharpur. They would link up at Rourkela. The route changed a few times, with stops in Eluru and finally settling on Perambur. Eventually, the Bokaro train was even extended to Dhanbad.

89/90 TATA-MAS toh pahle se chal rahi thi (1970 mein shuru hui thi), Bhimavaram Town se jaati hui Tatanagar se raat mein. Pura rake 1975 mein Muri ke raaste BKSC tak extend hua. 1981 mein train do parts mein bati gayi, 89/90 BKSC MAS aur 89A/90A TATA MAS. BKSC MAS (shaam ko departure) main train ban gayi aur TATA MAS (raat ko departure) link ban gayi. BKSC MAS Ranchi-Hatia ke raaste se chalti thi aur TATA MAS Chakradharpur ke raaste se, aur Rourkela mein attach hoti thi.

1981 se, bati hui train Eluru ke raaste jaane lagi, jo aaj bhi 13351/52 ke roop mein chal rahi hai. 1991 mein Railway Minister C.K. Jaffer Sharief ne train ko Alleppey tak extend kiya, aur slot badal gaya. 8689 ke liye Bokaro se dopahar mein departure aur 8189 ke liye Tatanagar se shaam mein departure. 1995 mein train ka raasta Perambur ke zariye badal diya gaya, MAS mein rukawat se bachne ke liye.

Railway Minister Nitish Kumar ne 2003 mein Bokaro train ko DC line ke zariye Dhanbad tak extend kiya.

Yo, check it out. In 2002-03, the 8689/90 BKSC - ALLP Express got extended to DHN. But man, BKSC has got some major issues nowadays. All the trains starting or ending at BKSC got rerouted to other nearby stations. The HWH - BKSC Shatabdi got extended to RNC, and even the HWH - BKSC Passenger/Express got rerouted to RNC through its RSA partner BKSC - RNC Passenger. The pitline at BKSC is totally messed up right now, it's damaged AF. It's such a shame that in this age of big investments in infrastructure, a key industrial town like Bokaro Steel City's railway station is in such a sorry state. They definitely deserve better, man.
