The rhythmic clatter of wheels on tracks, the shrill whistle piercing through the air, and the vast network of steel arteries crisscrossing the subcontinent – these are the
hallmarks of the Great Indian Railways. More than just a mode of transportation, the railway system in India is a living, breathing entity that has shaped the nation’s
history, culture, and identity for over 170 years.
In this book, we embark on a journey through time and space, exploring the multifaceted impact of the Indian Railways on the world’s largest democracy. From its humble beginnings under British colonial rule to its current status as the fourth largest railway network globally, the story of Indian Railways is inextricably linked with the story of India itself.
