Fw: [IRFCA] new stoppages for 6381/82 and 7229/30

[Guest guest]

I don't usually forward messages from the railway junkies on the Indian Railways

Fan Club list. But if you're planning to visit Amma's ashram and are arriving

in Kerala by train from Bombay or Hyderabad, this might be of interest. Look for

a train with a stop in Karunagappally (station code KPY). Note that trains in

India have 4-digit numbers as well as distinctive names such as the Shatabdi,

Rajdhani and even the Amrita Express.
