it is the same even for SC-NZM duranto which is barely 10-12 years old when its hitting 120 MPS ...that does not mean they are in bad condition....if they think the coaches can't take it anymore, they will for sure replace...whats so special for this vskp duranto only then ? you have cocanada which is also running with a similar rake ? you have pune-nzm special ac running with same rake ? you have mumbai-rjt duranto which is also running with ICF Raj rake ? you have nanda devi too ....
yes we should hope that nothing should happen for any trains be it 17 made or 1997 made irrespective of the year of make and it doesn't matter as well...

more... the way SCR surely knows a piece more than you and me about maintenance and its known for it ....atleast they know more than what I know about maintenance and coaches and stuff..not sure about you though....
