The air-conditioned Garib Rath Express from Delhi Sarai Rohilla to Bombay Bandra Terminus (Train No. 12215) rushes past Shahabad Mohammadpur station powered by a diesel locomotive WDP-3A 16302R based at Tughlakabad, on July 9, 2013. The train traverses 1431 km in 22.50 hrs with 16 scheduled halts in between. The Garib Rath (literally: poor chariot; implies: "Poor people's chariot") is a no-frills air-conditioned train started by the Indian Railways in 2005 to provide subsidized price air-conditioned long-distance travel to passengers who could not afford standard fares of air-conditioned class in regular-fare trains. Only seating and 3-tier sleeping accommodation is provided on this train. The seats and berths are narrower and each coach has more seats and berths than in air-conditioned coaches in other trains.
