Before KR, Trivandrum Rajdhani used to go via Madras Central. Presenting footage from my NZM-MAS journey in August 1995, Part 1.

wife and traveled on the Rajdhani from Nizamuddin till Madras. Besides being on an ICF Rajdhani with just four commercial halts till Madras, I also had the pleasure of enjoying the melodious twin-tone horn of the Shatabdi-liveried WAP1 that was in charge all the way.
The train started off with a cracking run to Jhansi in just 4 hours 11 minutes with one halt near Hodal (unscheduled). Apart from multiple shots of the cream-red rake, be sure to enjoy the following:
- Skips of Mathura, Raja-ki-Mandi, Agra Cantt, Dhaulpur, Morena, Gwalior, Lalitpur
- Departure from Hazrat Nizamuddin and halt at Jhansi
- Crossing the Kalinga Utkal Exp. at Dhaulpur
- Scissors crossing just before the Chambal bridge
- Crossing the Bangalore Rajdhani at high-speed
- Pantry car tour
