Train #12215 air-conditioned Garib Rath Express chugs toward Bandra Terminus in Bombay (Mumbai) from Delhi Sarai Rohilla station, hauled by a WDM-3A #14002R based at Tughlakabad MPD in Delhi. The journey of 1431 kilometres takes 23 hours. The Garib Rath (literally means "Poor Man's Chariot") is a no-frills air-conditioned 3-Tier Sleeper train started by the Indian Railways in 2005 to provide cheaper air-conditioned travel to passengers who could not afford normal fares of air conditioned class in other trains. Though the passengers are not provided free bedding or food, the train runs faster than other super-fast express trains on Indian Railways, at a speed of nearly 130 km/h. Garib Rath trains are identifiable by their green and yellow livery. This video was captured on 16 February 2015 near Bijwasan in the outskirts of Delhi.
