The longest Rajdhani route is from Kerala's Trivandrum Central to South Delhi's Hazrat Nizamuddin (3,149 km/ 46 hours).

The Deccan Queen was India's "first superfast train, first long-distance electric-hauled train, first vestibuled train, first train to include a 'women-only’ compartment, and the first train to feature a dining car" when it was introduced on June 1, 1930.
