120 mins more!!!! the 1st Intercity Express of South India all set to complete dutifully 50 years of her service- New trains may have come and thrown her ouut but she is still the poor man's Rajdhani- At Rs.130/- for 360 kms she continues her duties sincerely to the common man and earns everyone's praise- 11 stops at an average stop of every 30 kms once, she is a 24 coacher maintaining average of 60kmph!!!!
On this gracious ocassion wishing the Legend a very happy 50th Birthday!!!! Seen half-a century hopes she sees more decades and centuries as she connects the 2 capital cities seperated by 360 kms distance and 980 meters elevation
