Description

This book delves into the historical development, growth, and current landscape of Indian Railways, one of the largest and busiest rail networks in the world. From its humble beginnings in 1853 with the first railway line between Bombay and Thane, to its current status as a vital transport lifeline for freight and passengers across India, the book covers its evolution, achievements, and challenges. It also examines the advantages and disadvantages of the system, including its contribution to employment, tourism, and economic development, alongside the technological, infrastructural, and safety issues it faces. A must-read for anyone interested in India's transport sector.

Abstract

Indian Railways, with a network of over 123,000 km and over 7,300 stations, is one of the world’s largest railway systems, facilitating the movement of millions of passengers and tons of freight daily. The book provides an in-depth look at its historical growth, from its introduction in the mid-19th century under British colonial rule to its current role as a key driver of India’s economic and social development. It discusses the benefits of railway transport, such as employment, tourism, and agricultural development, alongside the challenges of outdated technology, safety concerns, and infrastructure limitations.

Somewhat challenging for newcomers to the field, but highly informative for experienced researchers.
