A myth must corrected:
1/2 Mail, started in 1855 (HWH-RNG) with one FC Coach (Servant Accompany Provision), got named Evening Mail in 1859, reached Benaras in 1862 (much before CBE-Beypore train made maiden journey on March 1862 & which was forerunner of Nilgiri/Malabar/Island Exp/Bangalore Mail but is mistaken by one as MAS-MAQ Mail which incepted in 1940 after Malabar Exp got diverted as Cochin Mangalore!!) Salem-Coimbatore Track wasn't ready in 1862 & hence proposed Salem-Beypore train run as CBE-Beypore!! Bangalore Mail was not even born in 1862 forget 1855!!
1 Aug 1864: Bangalore...
more...
Mail made maiden run as slip coach attached to Beypore-CBE-MAS Mail (MAS Mail later started terminating CBE & become Blue Mountain & later Nilgiri Exp which is second named train after Kalka Mail). Kalka Mail was already running in HWH-BSB!!
3 Aug 1864: Mail reaches Yamuna Bank (Delhi) with Coach Ferried at Allahabad.
29 Dec 1866 HWH aDeparture Mail reached first time in Delhi (Yamuna bridge ready & crossed on 1 Jan 1867)!! This date wrongfully is used by IR & Historians as Kalka Mail debut!!
PS: Information exist on Forum of Kalka Mail & MAS-MAQ Mail for anyone to find official Evidence & Snapshot!!

Travel SAFE

1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.
