Great Indian Peninsular Railway. At that time this train was known as the Imperial Indian Mail and use to carry British officers, civil servants, diplomats and their family members from the then Bombay to Calcutta. At that time it was one of the most luxurious train of British India and the world. Later on after independence the name was changed to Bombay Mail, which then subsequently changed to Mumbai Mail after rechristening Bombay to Mumbai. Being a very popular train, Indian Railways has to start another train by the same name but via Nagpur. Later on to avoid confusion, Indian Railways changed its name to Kolkata Mail..!!

Imperial: Calcutta-Bombay Route was of Imperial Prominence as straightway it connect Imperial Army from Britain to Northern India Revolt Belts. Lord dalhousie sanctioned Calcutta-Delhi as most important route while Bombay-Calcutta was sanctioned to be of Imperial Prominence!!
It never was a successsor & nor replaced The Imperial Mail, both been different!!
Purpose of The Imperial Mail & The Punjab Limited: To boost British Traffic by fastest possible connection between Ports & Mainland which was deprived by Regular Mail with multi stops & "Through Carriage" Links!!
