Karan, you guessed right. You can now see standard gauge on a few of the Delhi Metro lines.

Standard Gauge??? Did India have SG lines in those times? Or is that term used to refer to the gauge that we now call BG?

Jammu however did not have a direct connection to either Lahore, Amritsar or Delhi. The main route into the Kashmir Valley was from Rawalpindi to Muzaffarabad to Srinagar.

Not until recent years for the Delhi Metro. For some reason Bradshaw referred to BG as SG.

Now it is clear why Simla Mail has composite numbers - one set belongs to the BG portion (Lahore - Kalka) and the other to the NG portion (Kalka - Simla).

Look at 3/4 Frontier Mail's stops then compared to its today's stops- Beas, Phagwara, Jagdhari, Muzzafarnagar... a wonderful train reduced to ordinary :(

Only 1 direct train (19/20 Sind Express) from Karachi to Rawalpindi, none to Peshawar though.

Kalka - Lahore Simla Mail seems to have two numbers (14/11). I wonder if it too had slip coaches from somewhere else.
