Checked out all the bookings for the three big shots between Mumbai and Delhi from start to finish. Just gotta keep in mind that bookings from Kalyan and Borivali are part of CSMT and MMCT, and the current bookings don't count.

I went to CSMT yesterday for one main reason - to snap a pic of train number 22221. It was on my list for a while, and I'm stoked to finally check it off. Forgot to get a pic of the rear engine though, it was KYN WAP7 30537. Apologies for the tilted train board pic; there were too many staff members near the end of the train.

mai kal CSMT gaya tha, bus 22221 ko capture karne ke liye. bahut time se pending tha, lekin ab ho gaya, khush hun! magar piche wala engine capture karna bhool gaya, vo tha KYN WAP7 30537. aur sorry slanted tb pic ke liye, bahut saare Coolies the dono EOGs ke paas.

Bro, it's been 5 years since the 22221/22222 CSMT-NZM CR Rajdhani started running. And let me tell you, it's the only push-pull Rajdhani in the Indian Railways.

5 saal se 22221/22222 CSMT NZM CR Rajdhani chal rahi hai. Yeh Rajdhani sirf push-pull se chalti hai, aur ye sabse alag Rajdhani hai Indian Railways mein.
