*Timestamps and captions will coming soon. First Lhb run of 12841 Howrah - MGR Chennai Central Coromandel Express Coromandel Express is one of the flagship trains of the Indian Railways, which runs down the east coast of India between Shalimar (SHM) in West Bengal and Chennai Central (MAS) in Tamil Nadu on daily basis. Earlier it used to run between Howrah and Chennai Central Coromandal Superfast Express by connecting the Capitals of Tamilnadu & West Bengal. But after January 2022, it's terminal was changed to Shalimar instead of Howrah. At present it runs as Shalimar - Chennai Central Coromandal Superfast Express. It is one of the first earliest Superfast in the history of IR. Most of the people going to Chennai prefer this train as the train arrives earlier than the Howrah–Chennai Mail. The train runs jam-packed throughout the year. This train traverses the total distance of 1662 km in a total time of 26 hrs 10 mins with the maximum speed of 110 kmph. HISTORY - The land of the Chola dynasty was called Cholamandalam in Tamil, literally translated as "the realm of the Cholas", from which Coromandel is derived. The Coromandel Coast is the name given to the southeastern coast of the Indian peninsula. The Eastern Coast of India along the Bay of Bengal is called the Coromandel Coast and hence the name was given to this train, as it traverses the entire length of the Coromandel coast. This train belongs to the South Eastern Railway zone, which was earlier known as Bengal Nagpur Railways (BNR). When it was introduced in 1977, it was a bi-weekly train and it had stops only at Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam and Bhubaneswar and it used to bypass Cuttack and Khurda Road & Ongole were technical halts. It used to cover the journey that time in only 23 hrs 30 mins time. Timings that time were:- Howrah 17.15 hrs dep, Madras 16.45 hrs arrival next day. In return Madras 09.00 hrs dep, Howrah 08.30 hrs arr next day. Later many stops were introduced like Kharagpur, Balasore, Bhadrak, Khurda Road, Brahmapur, etc. which slowed down this train by up to 3 hours. It had a distinct livery when it was introduced in 1977. On an experimental basis additional stops at Tadepalligudem (TDD), Andhra Pradesh is introduced since 2015. Technical halt at Ongole is still present for pantry purpose.
