The 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 the 1830s - from the laying of the
first line, and the expansion of the train network into the heart
of the country, to the role of the railways in India's momentous
freedom 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 of technology, explores the operational and
commercial aspects of train travel, and documents the railways'
transition from a colonial tool of expansion and trade to an
intricate system with a distinct national identity. Most of all, it
tells the story of the people who built and planned the railways
and the locomotives that ran on them - their vision, their triumphs
and tragedies, and their legacy.
