Possibly this one; any train for North East that has reversal at durgapur cover to and fro DGR to Andal twice around 17 km .

Apart from that earlier Ranchi Ajmer had same fate from DDU it goes to BSB and then diverge for MZP after reversal at BSB and they overlap till block Hut b cabin around 15 km. But currently train is cancelled .
...
more...

Also I think, mussoorie express side has similar alignment of reversal of 12 km near muzzampur Narayan jn

Agree
That train seems to love Lucknow so much that it stops at five stations here, spending a total of two hours. Also, it's AC coaches are wasted from Lucknow to Mailani since it is usually used by locals to travel to Sitapur/ Mailani and they use General/Sleeper coaches. I entered couple of AC coaches and had singular digit passengers. I guess, if I book a seat in this train from Lucknow to Mailani in SL class, it has a good chance of being upgraded.

Mussoorie does cover muazzampur Narayan- najibabad section twice(11.2 km),
While Nagaon and Ntsk Tambaram Exp cover Durgapur andal section twice(16.9 km), longest of such I guess.
Many trains coming from merta and going to Phalodi cover bgkt-Jodhpur section twice(2km).
Trains coming from Ckp to tata, reversing up and then going towards chandil cover gamharia tata section twice (11km).

Recently travelled in 3A from SNSI to SC after getting LHB, coaches are well maintained and there are OBHE staff through out the journey (surprised as nowadays SCR is negligent even with premium trains). There is a technician available all the time for every coach and the staff (SCR) are very professional as they are able to resolve any issues immediately. The coaches and wash rooms are very clean and there is no odour coming. Needs to see whether they can maintain this consistently.

Disagree:3ac fare is still subsidized
When you have a train running with 14 AC coaches you should expect such levels of maintenance otherwise what's the use of paying such high fares.

To the one who had disagreed and feels 3AC fare is still subsidized. Out of 720 berths only 400 are in general quota 171 in tatkal being long distance fare is rs 300-400 extra for Shirdi long distance and another 54 are allocated to premium tatkal RAC 100 are alloted for 50 berths each berth double income so how can it be subsidized? From SL traveller is upgraded and paying 3 - 4 times more fare for long distance and service levels are expected.

Yes I know it's their responsibility, but I can't see the same maintenance even in SC-NZM Duronto. I have travelled from NZM to SC a couple of months ago, when they haven't cleaned the washroom or coaches through out the journey let alone the presence of OBHE staff.
Sadly, Nowadays SCR maintenance of its LHB trains is not up to the mark compared to the ICF days. I think only COA and KCG are still continuing the famed maintenance standards of SCR.
