The purest enjoyment of life - be a RailFan.

In 1st AC (and 1st class), the berths / seats are allotted only on charting.
Being the highest class, it is VIP prone and they are given the maximum comfort.
After the VIP absorption, it comes to the general passengers and if available, a coupe of 2 may be given to a PNR of 2.
Yet, suppose, on a day in a...

train, after VIO allotment, remaining there are a coupe of 2 and a coupe of 4 for 6 un-allotted (so far) passengers who have 3 PNRs of 2 each. The charting clerk can now give a coupe of 2 to only one PNR and rest 2 PNRs (of 2 each) will have to be accommodated in the coupe of 4.
This way, there may be a chance that a PNR of 4 passengers is bifurcated into 2 or more Coupes.
Ladies traveling alone are also given preference to be either in a coupe of 2 with other single lady or to be there in a coupe of 4.
Wish you all the best for allotment of a coupe for 2.

In case of any VIP/HO movement their PNR gets priority over any CP request made by any GN quota passenger.
At the time of charting such VIP...

PNR are manually entered in to PRSystem for priority allotment of coupe.

prayed lord shiva to realease water from that sand idol. Lord shiva reacted to lord hanuman's request and water came from the nose of the sand idol (presently it is calling ramagundam bugga.. . water spring) then rama drank water and spent few days. Latter on they went to ramagiri killa (ramagiri mountain) near to ramagundam There Rama made swimmingpool to sitha dhevi on the mountain, really it is very interesting it maintains water even in summer also. Lot of natural herbal and medicine trees available on this mountain ramagiri khilla.
After that Rama, laxmana, sitha dhevi went to badhrachalam by their own flight hamsa vaahanam.. lord hanuman went by flying himself (since he has flying power and electrodynamic shape).
Latter on our indian railway copied lord hanuman's shape and introduced that concept in WAP-7 engine.
Any way this train name got " RAMAGHIRI PASSENGER".
