The Punjab Mail rake was decked out with heritage-themed vinyl wrapping and screen-printed designs on the exterior, while the interiors reflected the train’s heritage. An audio-visual presentation on the Punjab Mail’s history was held, highlighting its role as one of the oldest and most prestigious trains of Indian Railways.
