'''Shalimar Express''' is a daily train between [[Delhi]] and [[Jammu Tawi]]. It is operated by the [[Northern Railways]]. Its number is 14645/14646. It comes in the Non Superfast (Mail/Express) trains category of the [[Indian Railways]].

==History and etymology==
The Shalimar Express is one of the oldest trains to [[Jammu Tawi]]. It has been given the name 'Shalimar' with reference to the [[Shalimar Bagh (Srinagar)|Shalimar Gardens]] of [[Srinagar]], as Jammu Tawi was the nearest railway station to [[Srinagar]] at that time.

==Arrival and departure==

The train leaves at 15:50 every day from [[Delhi Junction Railway Station|Delhi]] to Jammu Tawi. It reaches Jammu Tawi the next morning, early, at around 05:20. While heading towards the [[Delhi|Capital]], it leaves Jammu Tawi at 20:45 from #platform 3 and arrives at Delhi at about 10:50 at platform 1 at the next morning.

==Route and halts==
Unlike all other trains to Jammu Tawi, this train does not take the Delhi - Jammu Tawi main route. This train goes via [[Ghaziabad railway station|Ghaziabad]], [[Meerut railway station|Meerut]],
[[khatauli railway station|khatauli]], [[Muzaffarnagar railway station|Muzaffarnagar]], [[Saharanpur railway station|Saharanpur]], [[Ambala Cantonment Junction railway station|Amabla Cantonment Junction]], [[Ludhiana Junction railway station|Ludhiana Junction]], and [[Jalandhar]]; instead of [[Sonipat]], [[Panipat]], [Karnal], and [[Kurukshetra]]. The train passes through parts of [[Delhi NCR]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Haryana]], [[Punjab, India|Punjab]] and [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. It has 26 halts before reaching Old Delhi. It is one of two trains travelling through this route.

With the doubling and electrification of the entire Jalandhar - [[Pathankot]] - Jammu Tawi section, it is expected that the average speed of the Shalimar Express will increase in the near future.
