==Accidents==

* Kalindi Express had a rail accident on 20 August 1995 when it collided with [[Purushottam Express]] near [[Firozabad]] at 02:55 am on the Delhi–Kanpur section. This [[Firozabad rail disaster]] is considered as the second most deadly rail accident in Indian rail history with 358 people deaths (official list), however local people involved in the rescue operations claim that the death toll is more than that. The first train (Kalindi Express) from Kanpur struck a cow but was unable to proceed as its brakes were damaged. It was then struck from behind at a speed of 100 kmph by the [[Purushottam Express]] from [[Puri]]. Three carriages of the Kalindi Express were destroyed, the engine and the front two carriages of the Purushottam Express were derailed. Most of the 2,200 passengers aboard the two trains were asleep at the time of the accident.
* On 16 January 2010, three people were killed and 14 injured when Kalindi Express rammed into [[Kanpur Central]]-bound [[Shram Shakti Express]] near [[Tundla Junction]] due to dense fog in the morning.
