Presenting History Of My Most Favourite Train
The oldest running long-distance train of the Indian Railways, Punjab Mail, connecting Mumbai-Firozpur - originally linking Bombay with Peshawar (now in Pakistan) - turns 110 on Tuesday, Central Railway officials said here on Monday.
The Punjab Limited as she was called then, is a little over 16 years older than its more glamorous counterpart Frontier Mail,...

"MAS-Beypore run dated 1868 shows Beypore train depart 5 PM, stops at every station like Passenger & so does other trains to CBE/SBC (these were no Mail which always got limited stops)!! Clearly JTJ-SBC & MAS-MAQ Mail didnt exist even in 1968!! I am extremely thankful for tthese info!!"
This is 1868. There was only one train on the entire route- There was no scope for premium non-stop trains. This was the 'mail' train.

"Ferry Service don't operate at Night But Day which you should have mentioned instead of telling Night Service didnt happen for BB&CIR"
Night services were not operated on some of the railway companies routes due to lack of signalling and train controlling instruments. The larger companies like GIP, MR and EIR setup the infrastructure early on, while other companies took some time to catch up.

3 Passenger plus Ferry. Its no Gujrat Mail but just 1,2,3 Class Passenger. Did you said Overnight Stay before or after Ferry ride? Did you said its 3 set of Passenger plus Ferry ride?? Maybe you thought someone may not go so deep to check illuding schedules!!
And kindly dont expect me to believe all those 1,2,3 Passengers collectively were Mail. Mail Sevice show up in 1 Chord Mail TT and none of MAS-Beypore & Gujrat Pass stands any close to dream/fancy them as Mail.
Nevertheless..the point just is to show 1/2 Mail...
