I think many of the trains sites will list them somewhere, you'll find the main ones in the "links" link in my signature.

Wikipedia has an overview page on it; note that it's slow-loading, as it's massive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ons_in_In dia

Try CSTM to MAO

Thats Mumbai CST to Madgaon.

Trains to Goa depart from Mumbai CST, Dadar and Lokmanya Tilak, but a CSTM to MAO search would get all the trains, just try to avoid any trains listed as departing from Vassai Road, those are trains that bypass Mumbai (and are usually booked out in any case).

Our own friend's creation India Groove is a lot easier way to get the codes. Has Shakti made the big move to India? I believe he was scheduled to do so about now..

The station codes don't currently work for me, but I hear it's being worked on.

I also hear it's pretty reliable, but best to check results with the official site just to be sure I reckon: http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/
