The Imperial Indian Mail was a train from Bombay to Calcutta during the British Raj. The train was a part of a maritime rail system that carried mail and passengers from London to Calcutta (and on to Rangoon) by a mix of ships and trains. Passengers traveled by train from London to Brindisi in Italy, then by boat from Brindisi to Bombay's Ballard Pier where they could directly board the Imperial India Mail for a 40-hour journey to Howrah. Passengers heading to Rangoon could transfer to a steamer after a short boat ride from the rail station at Howrah to the pier at Outram Ghat.
