Nashua NH USA 950 blog postsSkipping Katni - Patna-Kurla Superfast (Jan. 2000) : I made sure I was awake to experience the memorable Katni skip. The train went through the station without much fuss. Being just two coaches away from the loco, I was able to enjoy the melodious two-tone horn along with superb chugging as the train accelerated out of the station. The bonus was the track sounds as we went over numerous points.

Sirjee Cheoki iska tech halt kabhi nahi tha... Iske first year of introduction me maine travel kiya tha... It did skip cheoki n kai baar waha rukti bhi thi no doubt because of congession in ALD to MGS section...
Achcha! When I traveled in Jan 2000, it stopped at Chheoki, so I assumed it's a technical halt. Actually, the reason for my assumption is when I traveled in Madras-Patna Exp. (predecessor of Sanghamitra) in 1989, the train halted at Chheoki with an announcement that Allahabad passengers should get down here. Isliye mujhe laga, Chheoki mein compulsory halt hai. Thanks for clearing that up :-)
Sir, iski ek story mere paas bhi hai. Jab yeh train introduce hui thi tab maine isme safar kiya tha aur JBP ke baad iska tech. stop STA hota tha uske baad yeh sidha MGS rukti thi. Us samay isme pantry nahi thi aur JBP se vendor order le kar STA me khana dete the. STA ka samay 6.30 PM ka tha. Mere ek co passenger ne dinner ka order diya tha. Vendor jab khana le kar aaya to usne mana kar diya ki itni jaldi kaun khana khayega. Phir jab TTE aaya to usne puchha ka ab gaadi kaha rukegi to TTE ne bataya ki ab to yeh MGS rukegi jo raat me 2 baje ke aas paas aayega. Ab to bechare ki haalat kharab ho gayi ki agle 7 ghanto tak kuchh khane ko nahi milna tha.
