History as per Wikipedia:
This train introduced in the 1964 as the first intercity express in the southern Railways. At that time it had stops only at Katpadi and Jolarpet covering the 360 kilometres (220 mi) in 5 hours. Later due to derailments of some trains the speed was reduced to take 5.5 hours in the 1980s. With increase in stops it has now come to 6 hours. In the early 1980s the train was operated as double decker with ac and non-ac classes, which was latter on scrapped, and the train was operated as single deck. In the late 1980s the MAS-JTJ stretch was electrified. JTJ-SBC the train used diesel engines. For the purpose of speed this train used to have twin diesels for the up gradient (deccan) between JTJ and SBC. The Train celebrated its Golden Jubilee run on 1 October 2014
