Colonial Heritage Rail Route: This train runs on one of the oldest and most historic trunk routes in India—the Great Indian Peninsula Railway (GIPR) & Madras Railway connection, which linked the Bombay Presidency directly with the Madras Presidency in the late 19th century. 2. The Terminal Shift (Egmore vs. Central): While most long-distance trains from western and northern India arrive at Chennai Central (MAS), Train No. 22157 is one of the rare express trains terminating at Chennai Egmore (MS)—providing a direct link to South Chennai and meter-gauge heritage corridors. 3. Spanning Four States in Under 24 Hours: In just under 23 hours, Train 22157 traverses four major Indian states: Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. 4. The Quad-Zone Relay: The train operates across three major zonal railways—starting in Central Railway (CR), passing through South Central Railway (SCR) at Guntakal, and ending in Southern Railway (SR). 5. Spiritual & Architectural Gateway: En route, the train skirts past major pilgrimage hubs including Renigunta Junction (the gateway to Tirupati Balaji) and crosses massive river bridges over the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers.
