Karan, the "burra sahibs" would not have liked to travel rubbing shoulders with the natives. Therefore they needed two trains.

Today also in the season, the evening Indrayani on Sundays is full of people returning from the races.

So, two different trains ran for the races? One with ONLY Ist Class and other with ONLY II Class? The timings seem to suggest so!

I think its safe to say that 'classy service' on IR disappeared very long ago. Mr.Muirhead (God bless him!) would turn in his grave if he saw what IRCTC were up to today!
