2 -   11448 /  Shaktipunj Express - Howrah to Jabalpu
LOCO:- HWH WAP-4  #22650

@@@--- The Shaktipunj Express (also pronounced as Sakthipunj Express) is a daily express train which runs between Jabalpur Junction railway station of Jabalpur, a major city in Madhya Pradesh, and Howrah Junction railway station of Kolkata, the capital city of West Bengal state in India.

The name Shaktipunj may be attributed to two reasons. Firstly, initially when the train service started, it connected Shaktinagar to Howrah. Later on the route got extended up to Singrauli junction and then to Jabalpur subsequently. The name Shaktinagar inspired the name Shaktipunj. Secondly, the train passes through the important coal mining belts such as Karnpura mines ( near Khalari), Ramgarh mines (near Barkakana), Singrauli, Bokaro, Dhanbad, Asansol, Raniganj etc and many important thermal power stations like Chandrapura, Patratu, Bokaro etc. Coal is the source of power or shakti. Hence the name Shaktipunj.
