Encyclopedia
Hussainsagar Express is a very popular train operated by South Central Railway
between Hyderabad and Mumbai
. It was started in late 1975 to connect the two cities. At that time this was the only train to Mumbai from the Deccan region of the country. Currently, it operates as a daily superfast
train.
The train is named after the Hussain Sagar
lake in Hyderabad, India built by Hazrat Hussain Shah Wali
in 1562, during the rule of Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah.

and Mumbai.
