Tamil Nadu Express is a superfast train of the Indian Railways. The train was first started on 7 August 1976 by then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. Introduced as a tri-weekly, it was the first State named train of the south. It runs between Chennai Central and New Delhi. It is considered as the fastest non-Rajdhani Express train. In 1976, it was a tri weekly train, then made four times a week just before the 1982 Asian Games and then converted to a daily train by Madhav Rao Scindia in June 1988 and who added Gwalior to the stoppages. Numbered 12621/12622, this train belongs to the Superfast category of Indian Railways.

This is how Tamil Nadu Express looked when it started - https://youtu.be/rLRKoD9frFo
When first introduced, the train was numbered 121/122 and the train had 13 compartments and was hauled by a single WDM 2 locomotive. After the Madras to Vijayawada line was electrified, the train was hauled by a single WAM 4 Arakkonam Electric on that stretch, and a single WDM 2 from Vijayawada to New Delhi. When the Chennai - New Delhi line was partially electrified in the late 1980s, it had to change engines twice in the route, from WAM 4 to WDM 2 at Vijayawada and then from WDM 2 to WAM 4 at Itarsi Junction.[2] When it was a non-daily train, it shared time slots with Andhra Pradesh Express and Kerala Express.

The first Superfast to connect the Southern Metro with the state capital the train beat the record of G T Express which held the superfast train status of the South that time and fastest to reach New Delhi. Timings were not convenient for Delhi travelers, leading to daily and timings altered to leave Chennai in the evening.

The Tamil Nadu Express faced a problem with the engine when it had to haul 18+ coaches. Initially when it was introduced as Tri-Weekly, the train used to leave Madras Central around 07:10 am to arrive NDLS around next next day 12:50 pm. In return it used to leave NDLS around 07:00 am and reach MAS around next day 12:35 pm. But due to its aggressive schedule it was slowed down later. The reason is the train could not cover the terrains near Itarsi and was regularly late by 2–3 hours while on its way to New Delhi. 121/122 Madras-New Delhi Tamil Nadu Express are being run, as on experimental measure, with two engines from 29-1-79. It is too early to assess the full implications of this experiment. Based on the experience gained, it is intended to extend this feature to other trains/routes. Mr George Fernandes as Railway Minister, introduced the concept of twin engines and tried to fix the problem. Later the travel time was increased to 33 hours. The train was rescheduled to night later.
