The Utran-Ankleshwar section was opened in 1860. The Tapti bridge was also completed by November of that year.
The only ferry crossing was at the Narmada near Bharuch. Even here, it was a only a temporary arrangement.

Trestle bridges were common on most rivers in that era. They were used as temporary arrangements to just start train traffic on the route, but once operations started, they were replaced with proper bridges.
It was the same case with both the Tapti and Narmada bridges. Even by the end of the 1860's, there were proper bridges constructed across them.

Inaugural run is different from first run in that if inauguration ceremony usually takes place at one end itself. Most probably at CR/Pune in this case , so for both up and down trains, same date (05/03)will apply. For first run, two separate dates for up and down may be updated

Usually if I have the timetables available, and if I know the exact day of first run from each end, I update the exact day.
If I do not have information about the first run, I update the same date for both Up and Dn trains.
I am fine with either approach. If the other monitors think that we should update the same date for both Up and Dn trains, then I can go ahead and change all the inaugural dates I added.
