Assam Mail was running till 1965. 1959-65 route was DLI-BJU via PNBE in BG & BJU-AMJ(Later DBRT via GHY-LMG-NTSK) in MG via KIR-BOE-PBP-KNA(Sealdah part linked)-GTG-GKJ-BNGN-RNY. In 1965 Sealdah-KNA part was permanently cancelled & route of Assam Mail changed to BJU-KIR-BOE-SGUJ-APDJ-BNGN-RNY-GHY-LMG-MXN-NTSK.
PBP Parbatipur and KNA Kaunia, both are in Bangladesh. So, the route before 1965 was through Bangladesh, for Assam mail trains...

Every trains except Rajdhani had 45 mins halt at Dibrugarh for reversal Giving 2006 TT screenshot of GHY-DBRT. Assam Mail changed it route in BJU-KIR-BOE-KNE-TKG-SGUJ-APDJ-NBQ from BJU-KIR-BOE-RDP-PBP-KNA-GTG-GKJ-BNGN after 1965 Indo-Pak War.
I was going through 1944 time table and found 3 up 4 dn Sealdah Tinsukia Assam Mail. Its route was through present day Bangladesh. I did not see any other train to Tinsukia. So, there was no Tunsukia Mail then. Assam Mail could be called by some people Tinsukia Mail.
