[4K | ULTRA HD] 12124 Deccan Queen Full Journey | #IndianRailways #Railfan #IRI
click here
One of the oldest running trains in the country, the Deccan Queen, will run on the tracks between Mumbai and Pune, in an all-new avatar. The Deccan Queen, which recently completed 92 years of service, is amped up with new Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches and a brand-new dining car.
Interestingly,...
more...
the Deccan Queen, or Dakkhan ki Rani, was named after a city in Pune and was the first train to feature a dining car. Now, the train will make its first trip from Mumbai to Pune with new and revamped coaches and arrive at its destination at around 8:30 pm on Wednesday. It was decided in February that the Deccan Queen will be upgraded and will be given a new design approved by the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad. The upgrades were sanctioned by the Ministry of Railways.
According to a central railway official, the LHB coaches affixed to the Deccan Queen will provide greater safety and stability to the train. The coaches will also ensure more control and higher speeds. The official added, “The Deccan Queen is one of the oldest trains in the country and this transformation is sure to bring renewed enthusiasm and people will love travelling by it even more,” as reported by The Times of India.
Apart from replacing the Integral Coach Factory coaches, the Railways has also transformed the dining coach in the train. The new dining car will have 10 dining tables with each table having a seating capacity of four people. Each table will be given a panoramic window. The kitchen will serve freshly cooked food and hot drinks along the journey.
The new Deccan Queen will have 15 coaches in totality. This will include four AC chair coaches, eight Second Class chair coaches, one AC dining coach, one Vistadome coach, one Generator coach, and one guard cum brake van.

The 12123 / 12124 Deccan Queen is a daily Indian passenger train service operated by the Central Railway zone of the Indian Railways connecting the cities of Mumbai and Pune. Introduced on June 1, 1930, the Deccan Queen was India's "first superfast train, first long-distance electric-hauled train, first vestibuled train, the first train to have a ‘women-only’ car, and the first train to feature a dining car". The service name comes from the Hindi nickname "डेक्कन की रानी" (Queen of the Deccan), a popular nickname for Pune. Deccan Queen is currently the fastest train service linking Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and Pune Junction. It has an average operating speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) including stops, and a top speed of 105 km/h (65 mph), making it among the fastest trains in India. The train's long history and common use as a commuter train has gained it significant popularity, including annual celebrations of its "birthday" on June 1 at Pune Junction.
From June 2022, the consist was reduced to 15 LHB coaches including a dining car with cooking using induction and an electric sigri.
It is hauled by a Kalyan-based WCAM-3 / WAP-7 end to end.
At Karjat, it gets two or three WAG-5, WAG-7, WCAM-2 or WCAM-3 bankers of Kalyan shed to push the train on the ghat section between Karjat railway station and Lonavala railway station, where the gradient is of 1 in 40.
12124 Pune–Mumbai Deccan Queen leaves Pune Junction every day at 0715 hrs IST and reaches Mumbai CSMT at 1025 hrs IST. The train travels non-stop till Lonavala after leaving Pune junction. On its way the train overtakes Sahyadri Express at Shivajinagar / Khadki. Then it crosses the Bhor ghat and skips Karjat. The train then stops at Dadar (Central) station after traveling 120 km (75 mi) from Lonavala and finally terminates at Mumbai CSMT. It is the second (out of six) Pune–Mumbai trains to leave Pune Junction in the morning.
12123 Mumbai–Pune Deccan Queen leaves Mumbai CSMT every day at 1710 hrs IST and reaches Pune Junction at 2025 hrs IST. On its way the train halts at Karjat after covering 100 km (62 mi) from Mumbai CSMT for bank locomotive attachment. Then it halts at Lonavala after crossing Bhor Ghat where bank locomotives are detached. Then the train halts at Shivajinagar, a major suburb of Pune before terminating at Pune junction. It is the last daily Mumbai–Pune train to leave CSMT in the evening.

#03426 PUNE MLDT Special Train
Some of my relatives boarded the train today (rescheduled from yesterday)
1. The day before we were notified the train rescheduled by 05.30hrs, followed by another 1.5hrs.
2. As usual, no visibility of platform allocation at Pune. It departed from #6.
3....
more...
Sleeper coaches - No maintenance, bad odour around the washroom. We have found 65,68 berths and it is really difficult.
4. Upon check, due to shortage of staff and bla bla.
5. Very good number of UR coaches and as many people. (No queue like in KYN LTT)
