Train No. 17315, the Vasco Da Gama–Velankanni Weekly Express, rolls at track speed through Dabolim station in Goa, led by a WDP-4D locomotive. Covering approximately 1,317 km (819 miles) in about 27 hours and 45 minutes, this train operates once a week, departing Vasco Da Gama every Monday. Its limited frequency is due to moderate passenger demand and the allocation of rolling stock, as the route primarily serves pilgrims traveling to the Velankanni shrine.
