He travelled aboard this train on its first run in 1972. He will be onboard in 2022 after 50 years!! The 90 years of age has only augmented his enthusiasm.
Talking of enthusiasm, here’s a bunch of railfans from Chennai who have travelled all the way to be part of this historic journey. And look at their ‘Rajdhani-Red’ livery!
