Lost glory

Once this Jan Shatabdi Express ran with carriages of unique livery but now it is mixed with different carriages and slowly loosing its priority too

Dual "Shakti"

Instead of the usual WDP-4D, dual freight class ALCos of "Shakti" series shows up with Sampark Kranti Express as surprise power combo

LV - Last Vehicle
