Originally, this term was given to trains that had a combination of passenger and freight cars in the rake composition. However, more recently this term is used to denote a train that runs as an express for a partial distance and a passenger for the remainder of its journey. For eg: the 4307/4308 Baraeily – Mughalsarai Express is a passenger between Lucknow and Allahabad.

Another train that is labled mixed/composite is the 2311/2312 Kalka Mail. This runs as a superfast between Howrah-Delhi and as an ordinary express between Delhi and Kalka.
