And 22416 was never spotted again (at most probable, it was scrapped for unknown reasons).
The train, which was once known as Indian Imperial Mail, and was the world's most luxury train, uses the Mumbai CST- Kalyan- Manmad- Bhusaval- Khandwa- Itarsi- Jabalpur- Katni- Satna- Manikpur- Allahabad- Mughal Sarai- Gaya- Dhanbad- Asansol- Burdwan- Howrah route.
