Somebody might recall this boat mail from the Ashe murder case, which I had written about, for that was the train Ashe and his wife boarded at Maniyachi, after
which they were shot by Vanchi Iyer in June 1911. Maniyachi incidentally was a busy
railhead junction, at which incoming passengers from Tinnevelly changed for the
Boat Mail Train from Tuticorin. But then again it is no ordinary train and has
quite a history.
