WAP4 24 coach Legend 12616 New Delhi Chennai Grand Trunk express cruises past Multai in Madhya Pradesh. P4 ED 22527. Multai in Betul district, is located 144 km from Nagpur. Multai is the holy place and origin for river Tapti. The daughter of Surya, the Sun God, Mata Tapti is worshiped here in two different temples Prachin Mandir and Naveen Mandir. There is a belief of people about one Shiva Temple in the town that if it does not rain in the rainy season people used to fill the temple with the Tapti's Holy water and pray for rain and it does rain within 48 hours. I have my highest respect for this Legend train. Tamil Nadu express owes its prestige completely to GT. GT has sacrificed its life for Tamil Nadu express without expecting anything in return, otherwise called unselfish Karma Yoga.

The Legendary Grand Trunk Express or GT, is one of the oldest and most famous trains in India. When introduced in 1929, the train ran between Peshawar and Mangalore, almost the length of the country and beyond. The GT was one of the longest running trains in the country at that time. The Peshawar to Mangalore run took about 104 hrs in all. Later this service was changed to Lahore Mettupalayam. In 1930 it reached its present status while running between Delhi and Madras. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the train used to run with a completely air-conditioned rake on two days of the week. The train's name and the name of the route on which it runs, the arterial North-South route, which is doubled and fully electrified, the Grand Trunk route derives from the famous Grand Trunk Road. 12615 covers 2184 km in 35.05 hrs with an average of 66 km/hr and 36 halts. 12616 covers same distance in 35.35 hrs with an average of 65 km/hr and 35 halts. 12615 departs MAS evening 19:15 and arrives NDLS third day, morning 06:20. 12616 departs NDLS evening 18:40 and arrives MAS third day, morning 06:15 12615 has 36 halts. 12615 halts at Jhansi 12 minutes. 5 ten minute halts -- Vijayawada, Balharshah, Nagpur, Itarsi and Bhopal. 4 five minute halts -- Bina, Gwalior, Agra and Mathura Rest 26 are 1 or 2 minute halts -- Gudur, Nellore, Ongole, Chirala, Bapatla, Tenali, Khammam, Warangal, Ramagundam, Mancherial, Sirpur Kagaznagar, Chandrapur, Hinganghat, Sevagram, Narkher, Pandhurna, Amla, Betul, Ghoradongri, Hoshangabad, Habibganj, Vidisha, Morena, Raja Ki Mandi, Faridabad, and Nizamuddin. 12616 has 36 halts.
