When i look back into my life, i wonder how fast time has gone, how fast every thing around us changed. Was born and brought up in Warangal, as a kid i was so excited to travel in trains, but i rarely travelled as almost all my relatives stay in nearby towns and villages, within 100 kms range, the farthest destination was Hyderabad (it is just 130 kms away though) but for me as a kid it was too far :D I think...

Yes, there used to be stories about AP too like it covers KZJ to SC in 1 and half hour etc. Godavari travels just above 700 kms but gets priority over most of the trains on its route. I travelled by Godavari few times, especially between SC and BZA it is ruthless. It is very common for Godavari to cover SC KZJ 130 kms in less than 1 hr 45 mts and WL to BZA 203 Kms in less than 3 hrs. Quite few times it even over took present TN.
Nice to read. When I was a school boy, I went to Chennai central many times to send off my sister and her husband to Delhi. TN and Brindavan used to start early morning. Platform 1 was made long to accommodate TN. Coaches were numbered A, B, C, D, etc. Slowed down and dep changed to 10pm after that accident. TN was probably full diesel. GT got E-loco from MAS to NGP.
I went to Delhi probably in 1980. We went by GT, which was diverted (due to floods in main route) via Renigunta, Solapur, Daund, Manmad, Itarsi. WHile returning we came by TN along the main route. Enjoyed both trips so much.

Goosebumps. Extremely well-written! TN is an emotion for railfans across India it seems.
Definitely needs a speedup now.

Nice story. I have had the luxury of traveling in it both Mas-Ndls in 2011 and Ndls-Mas in 2017. TN to Ndls and Coromandel to Hwh were and still the best trains from Chennai
I travelled in TN express only once both UP & DN journey somewhere in the year 1992 January I think to attend my cousin's house warming ceremony at Sanik Farm in NDLS
