Discrepancy in history of Nilgiri express as given below

This site says May 12, 1862

Wikipedia says Feb 1, 1864

Now if anybody has accurate history can prove any of this right.

Hi Experts, I booked 3AC ticket from Tiruppur to Chennai via '12672 Nilagiri Exp'. It falls under PQWL. Please advise how does this WL work.
Will any ticket cancelled from other than Coimbatore to Chennai/Mettupalayam to Chennai will get this WL moving ahead?
Is this my understanding correct

Thank you for your quick response. It's much appreciated. I have another query. i have to travel from Tiruppur to Chennai on Jun 15th. In couple of trains (12602 and 12515 to Perambur), I would like which nearest From and To stations that would qualify as the General WL. Also, is there any RLWL which has more chance for confirmation for these above-mentioned trains. Please clarify.

Thank you again for the prompt response. if I check from Coimbatore to Chennai via the train 12515,, it's showing as RSWL (and not GNWL). Should I also change my To Station?
Also, 12602 is Mangalore train (not Nilagiri). Please suggest the From and To stations for this train as well that will qualify as the General WL.
