The 19167 / 19168 '''Sabarmati Express''' is an express train which connects the city of [[Ahmedabad]] in the western state of [[Gujarat]] to [[Varanasi]] city in the northern state of [[Uttar Pradesh]] through [[Jhansi]]. The train may take up to two days to complete the journey. It travels through [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Madhya Pradesh]] & [[Gujarat]].

== History ==

On 27 February 2002, the train was stopped outside [[Godhra Junction railway station]] because of the emergency chain being pulled. The train was then [[Godhra train burning|attacked]] and four coaches were burned by a large Muslim mob composed of local [[Muslim]]s.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12534127] BBC News</ref><ref name="India 2008">[http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Repository/getFiles.asp?Style=OliveXLib:LowLevelEntityToPrint_TOI&Type=text/html&Locale=english-skin-custom&Path=TOIM/2008/09/27&ID=Ar01400 The Godhra conspiracy as Justice Nanavati saw it] The Times of India, 28 September 2008. Retrieved 2012-02-19. [https://www.webcitation.org/65dKF3wm3?url=http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Repository/getFiles.asp?Style=OliveXLib:LowLevelEntityToPrint_TOI&Type=text/html&Locale=english-skin-custom&Path=TOIM/2008/09/27&ID=Ar01400 Archived] 21 February 2012.</ref>

58 Hindu pilgrims who were returning from the holy city of [[Ayodhya]], were trapped and killed in the burning train.
