You are right about the ferries. In the early years, trains were run on whatever length of the route was available. For example, even in the 1850's, when the railway connection was only available till Jamalpur, passengers would be carried by train till the limits of the railway, and from there, would take a tonga or a ferry along the Ganga till Allahabad, then switch to the railway between Allahabad and Kanpur and again take a road or river route till Delhi and Lahore. But these are not necessarily 'complete' trains. For the ferry and road transport arrangements had to be mostly taken care of by the passengers themselves. Some First class passengers or Elite Indian passengers would have the arrangements made by the railway company itself, but most would have to make their own arrangements.
