1861: Evening Mail, 1867: 1 Chord Mail, 1870: Fast Mail No 9. 1867 run was via ASN-PNBE not Gaya (Its Chord not Grand Chord)!!
Earlier Class use to be highlighted: 1 & 2 Mail, 1 & 2 Interclass. 1 & 2 Mail. There was no space left to show Mail if Inter was mentioned. It was 1&2 Interclass in between HWH-BWN-ASN. Thats why i mentioned to check train's schedule in ALD-DLI where its 1,2,3 Mail as Inter use to run in between HWH-BWN/RNG!!
Its never tough to check which was Kalka Mail basis...

The history of kalka mail is almost clear now, but I still have a few queries
1. When did bombay mail come into existence, and can we even trace it's chronology?
2. What about imperial? It's been argued much that it was different from bombay mail. In fact the TT shared shows it's run via Bina.

Its very complicated to track trains in a go. I am into MAS-MAQ, MAS-TVC Mail since few days. In between work its tough to track out as MAS-MAQ, MAS-NGT, TVC, CBE, SBC & Bombay-MAS Mail is very complex and at some time all got "through coach" shared in very complex way. I am trying to create timeline for the same!!
Imperial Mail was called this way coz: Bombay-Calcutta Line was termed of Imperial Importance by Lord Dalhousie as it connects Calcutta to Imperial British via Bombay (remember: the faster Service was Imperial Indian Mail not Imperial Mail)!!
