Tagore a famous poet of India wrote the book Geetanjali. Since this train, too, starts from Bengal, thus it has been given the same name. People love the train as much the book. It was introduced by then Railway Minister Prof. Madhu Dandvate on 26 December 1977.
As a matter of fact, the whole rake of this train belongs to ECoR (since it has RSA with 18410 Puri- Kolkata Howrah Junction SRI JAGANNATH Express), but the Pantry Car belongs to SER (since 18410 does not have Pantry service). Btw, this train uses the Kalyan Junction- Bhusaval Junction- Akola Junction- Badnera Junction- Nagpur Junction- Durg Junction- Raipur Junction- Bilaspur Junction- Rourkela Junction- Tatanagar Junction- Kharagpur Junction- Kolkata Howrah Junction route.

Somewhere I read the name as Gitanjali, and at others as Geetanjali.. Why such a confusion??
