The text mentions an 'agnirath' or train. What were the technical specifications or passenger capacity of the second-class carriage described?

📖 Chapter 51

The provided excerpts from Chapter 51 of the Shri Sai Satcharita do not contain any technical information about the train, referred to poetically as 'agnirath'. The text is a spiritual account, not an engineering document. The mention of the second-class carriage being 'packed to capacity' serves a narrative purpose—to create an obstacle for Madhavrao and Dixit on their journey to Shirdi. The focus is not on the train's specifications but on the subsequent 'deep worry' of the devotees and the miraculous solution that arises when the train guard, an acquaintance of Dixit, suddenly appears and resolves their problem. This event is portrayed as an example of Baba's intervention, not as a study of early 20th-century railway transport.
