Recount #003 *amazing facts : part 2*

Hola people. I am back with the part 2 of fascinating facts about Indian Railways.

Today i am putting up some information about the stations......the USB s of Railways.

Fact 05 :
Shortest Station Name .
If someone asks - whats important in knowing the shortest station name; answer would be 'Nothing'. But, its never bad to know something. What say ! Well, the shortest station name is the station called Ib in Orissa.


Fact 06 :

After the  shortest, how can one not name the longest station name. It is - 
Sri Venkatanarasimharajuvariapeta in Tamil Nadu. Phew, 32 alphabet long. You know, the good as well as the confusing thing of having a long name is.....that you can have many nick names. ;p






Fact 07 : 
The busiest railway station of India is Lucknow station (Uttar Pradesh). For the most obvious reasons of being the post populated state, a junction and amazing textile industry including clothing of chicken embroidery;  Lucknow is the busiest station. 

          truly majestic, isn't it !   

Fact 08 :

One more longest fact ....this time its the route.

The longest route covered is by the train Vivek Express which runs from Dibrugarh(Assam) to Kanyakumari(Tamil Nadu) coveing a huge distance of total 4286km(2663.2 miles). in three days 10 hours and 15mins. I am thinking about the people in the last 15minutes !!! 

Fact 09:

Shortest run. its really a shortest one... a three km. ride from station Nagpur(designated as orange city of India) to Ajni. Ajni basically comes in the district of Nagpur but serves as an extended city station among 5 small sub-cities of Nagpur.

Fact 10:

Longest run for a Daily Train is by Kerala Express which travels 3054km. in 42.5hrs. Though, its not

a surprise as there are many trains which travels huge distances to connect the cities and towns of 7th largest country of the world. As I have been to Kerala, travelling in train would actually be an amazing option for travel lovers. You can imagine the scenic beauty just from the pic captured from the Kerala Express.. That's, why Kerala is called as God's own country. Truly WOW !

Just this much for today.Will be back with more fun facts.Hope you all enjoyed.Leave a comment or two.Till then, keep travelling !
