The train's pantry staff spotted the unclaimed red coloured trolley bag and reported the matter to the Railway authorities, Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP) who took the bag into their custody, he said.
The bag was opened in presence of Railway's commercial staff, RPF and GRP and it was found packed with wades of currency notes, he added.
