Thanks for any valuable info you can share.
There are other threads that will provide more on-topic for you. For example:

We took a train (our full itinerary is posted in other threads) and enjoyed it. It can be difficult to purchase the train tickets online without an Indian mobile number, but there are work-arounds (google is your friend for this). There are several classes available on most trains from most stations (note that cities often have more than one station). The classes available and the duration of the ride vary based on which scheduled train you book...though, most are around 3 hours (or less if you take certain "tourist" express trains). If you take trains beware of the plethora of touts in the stations (usually before you reach the platform).
