What a fantastic trip it was!!!! Still afresh in mind...The planning for trip was being done since a month or two, but that was with friends as group tour but it remained in planning stage only as all friends who were supposed to be aboard the trip went to their hometown to celebrate Diwali. Now since I was left alone in the PG, I checked for tickets to any place. My instant search was for Jodhpur, but that "Keeda" of going to the border area and see sanddunes had not died despite the initial plan (with friends) was put off. So, searched tickets for Jaisalmer, and Voila! it was available in 14659 Runicha exp & return in 12467 Leelan Exp. Quickly did a calculation for tentative budget and there the booking was done in evening on 26/10/2019, just minutes before chart preparation of 14659. Presenting some of the many pics...

14659 ka maintainance thoda sudhaarna chahiye as insme kaafi foreigners aate hain and surprisingly they prefer 3Ac. 1A had only 2, From 2A I hardly saw 3-4 getting down and from 3A almost a score or 2 dozen got down at JSM. Atleast cleanliness tip-top rakh sakte hain. 1A ke window glasses clean nahi thhe. These should be avoided.
NR especially delhi is known for worst maintenance.. this has slightly better maintenance..I have travelled in NR trains in really worst conditions.
Actually yes, it is maintained, much better than the NR standards (which I have heard of). But since a tourist train, a bit more can be done. And nothing special needs, just cleaning the coaches properly.
