Indian Railways
A beautifully illustrated history of the Indian railwaysystem from the mid-19th century to the present
THE PITCHA definitive visual history of Indian railways
Combines authoritative text with stunning images, including rarely seenphotographs from the Indian Railways archives, artefacts and keylocomotives
Supported by Heritage Directorate, Ministry of Railways and the National RailMuseum, New Delhi
Created with the support of a panel of railway experts (including J.L. Singh ,former Joint Director, Indian Railways and Secretary of the Rail EnthusiastsSociety; Sanjoy Mookerjee, former Finance Commissioner, Indian Railways;and Manoj Pande, member of the Railway Board)
THE BOOKThe railways did more than link India - they brought its people together,changing histories, forging destinies, and leaving a lasting legacy.
This sumptuously illustrated book traces that history from the early plans of the1830s - from the laying of the first line, and the expansion of the train networkinto the heart of the country, to the role of the railways in India's momentousfreedom movement and the high-speed Diamond Quadrilateral project.
Indian Railways does more than celebrate the awe-inspiring bridges, stations,tunnels, and locomotives of the railway system. It traces the development oftechnology, explores the operational and commercial aspects of train travel, anddocuments the railways' transition from a colonial tool of expansion and trade toan intricate system with a distinct national identity. Most of all, it tells the storyof the people who built and planned the railways and the locomotives that ran onthem - their vision, their triumphs and tragedies, and their legacy.
