Goa Express Train Facts and Features
Around 1987, the train was introduced. Goa rail links were Meter Gauge when they were first introduced.
The Goa Express train had both a Broad Gauge (BG) and a Meter Gauge (MG) counterpart, with the MG section running between Vasco da Gama and Miraj and the BG section running between Miraj and Hazrat Nizamuddin.
The Goa Express train was numbered 2479/2480 when it first ran and was operated by the Delhi Railway Division of Northern Railway.
Post-gauge-conversion When the Broad Gauge (BG) train completed the entire route, it was transferred to the Hubli Railway Division of the present-day South Western Railway and renumbered as 12779/12780.
