Hrishikesh Sandilya~ 51 blog postsSir, I have a question. This train runs from Amritsar to Vishakhapatnam. On it's way it passes through Sambalpur in Orissa. If I am not mistaken Hirakund is a small town near Sampbalpur in Orissa.
SO, why is this train named Hirakund Express, when it neither starts or terminates at Hirakund (Sambalpur) ?

Hirakud is a dam on mahanadi river in the vicinity of sambalpur city. Originally train ran from SBP to NZM and hence got the name.
