Introduction to Indian
Railways

Indian Railways (IR) is India's national railway system operated by the Ministry
of Railways. It manages the fourth largest railway network in the world by size,
with a route length of 67,368-kilometre (41,861 mi) and total track length of
121,407-kilometre (75,439 mi) as of March 2017. Routes are electrified with 25
kV AC electric traction while thirty three percent of them are double or multi-
tracked.[3][4]
Indian Railway (IR) runs more than 20,000 passenger trains daily, on both long-
distance and suburban routes, from 7,349 stations across India.[3] The trains
have a five-digit numbering system. Mail or express trains, the most common
types, run at an average speed of 50.6 kilometres per hour (31.4 mph).[5] In
the freight segment, IR runs more than 9,200 trains daily. The average speed of
freight trains is around 24 kilometres per hour (15 mph).[6]
As of March 2017, IR's rolling stock consisted of 277,987 freight wagons,
70,937 passenger coaches and 11,452 locomotives.[3] IR owns locomotive and
coach-production facilities at several locations in India. The world's eighth-
largest employer, it had 1.308 million employees as of March 2017.[3]
In the year ending March 2018, IR carried 8.26 billion passengers and
transported 1.16 billion tonnes of freight.[2] In the fiscal year 2017–18, IR is
projected to have revenue of ₹1.874 trillion (US$27 billion), consisting of
₹1.175 trillion (US$17 billion) in freight revenue and ₹501.25 billion (US$7.3
billion) in passenger revenue, with an operating ratio of 96.0 percent.
The first railway proposals for India were made in Madras in 1832.[7] The
country's first train, Red Hill Railway (built by Arthur Cotton to transport
granite for road-building), ran from Red Hills to the Chintadripet bridge in
Madras in 1837.[7] In 1845, the Godavari Dam Construction Railway was built
by Cotton at Dowleswaram in Rajahmundry, to supply stone for the
construction of a dam over the Godavari River. In 1851, the Solani Aqueduct
Railway was built by Proby Cautley in Roorkee to transport construction
materials for an aqueduct over the Solani River.
India's first passenger train, hauled by three steam locomotives (Sahib, Sindh
and Sultan), ran for 34 kilometres (21 mi) with 400 people in 14 carriages on
1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge track between Bori Bunder (Mumbai) and
Thane on 16 April 1853.[8][9] The Thane viaducts, India's first railway bridges,
were built over the Thane creek when the Mumbai-Thane line was extended to
Kalyan in May 1854.[10] Eastern India's first passenger train ran 24 miles (39
km) from Howrah, near Kolkata, to Hoogly on 15 August 1854.[1] The first
passenger train in South India ran 60 miles (97 km) from Royapuram-
Veyasarapady (Madras) to Wallajah Road (Arcot) on 1 July 1856.[11]
On 24 February 1873, a horse-drawn 3.8-kilometre (2.4 mi) tram opened in
Calcutta between Sealdah and Armenian Ghat Street.[12] On 9 May 1874, a
horse-drawn tramway began operation in Bombay between Colaba and
Parel.[13] In 1897, lighting in passenger coaches was introduced by many
railway companies. On 3 February 1925, the first electric passenger train in
India ran between Victoria Terminus and Kurla.[14]
The organisation of Indian railways into regional zones began in 1951,[15]
when the Southern (14 April 1951), Central (5 November 1951) and Western (5
November 1951) zones were created.[16] Fans and lights were mandated for
all compartments in all passenger classes in 1951, and sleeping
accommodations were introduced in coaches. In 1956, the first fully air-
conditioned train was introduced between Howrah and Delhi.[17] Ten years
later, the first containerized freight service began between Mumbai and
Ahmedabad. In 1986, computerized ticketing and reservations were
introduced in New Delhi.[18]
In 1988, the first Shatabdi Express was introduced between New Delhi and
Jhansi; it was later extended to Bhopal.[19] Two years later, the first self-
printing ticket machine (SPTM) was introduced in New Delhi.[20] In 1993, air-
conditioned three-tier coaches and a sleeper class (separate from second class)
were introduced on IR. The CONCERT system of computerized reservations was
deployed in New Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai in September 1996. In 1998,
coupon validating machines (CVMs) were introduced at Mumbai Chhatrapati
Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. The nationwide Concierge system began operation
on 18 April 1999. In February 2000, the Indian Railways website went
online.[On 3 August 2002, IR began online train reservations and ticketing.
Indian Railways announced on 31 March 2017 that the country's entire rail
network would be electrified by 2022.

STRUCTURE

Indian Railways is headed by a seven-member Railway Board whose chairman

reports to the Ministry of Railways. Railway Board also acts as the Ministry of
Railways. The officers manning the office of Railway Board are mostly from
organised Group A Railway Services and Railway Board Secretariat Service. IR is
divided into 18 zones, headed by general managers who report to the Railway
Board.[24][25] The zones are further subdivided into 68 operating divisions,
headed by divisional railway managers (DRM).[26][27][28] The divisional
officers of the engineering, mechanical, electrical, signal and
telecommunication, stores, accounts, personnel, operating, commercial,
security and safety branches report to their respective DRMs and are tasked
with the operation and maintenance of assets. Station masters control
individual stations and train movements through their stations' territory. In
addition, there are a number of production units, training establishments,
public sector enterprises and other offices working under the control of the
Railway Board.

The Nilgiri Mountain Railway, which uses one of India's few running steam
locomotives
India uses electric and diesel locomotives, along with a few CNG (compressed
natural gas) locomotives.[37] Steam locomotives are no longer in use, except
in heritage trains. Locomotives in India are classified by gauge, motive power,
the work they are suited for and their power or model number. Their four- or
five-letter class name includes this information. The first letter denotes the
track gauge; the second their motive power (diesel or electric), and the third
their suitable traffic (goods, passenger, multi or shunting). The fourth letter
denotes a locomotive's chronological model number. In 2002, a new
classification was adopted in which the fourth letter indicates a newer diesel
locomotive's horsepower range.

A locomotive may have a fifth letter in its name, denoting a technical variant,
subclass or subtype (a variation in the basic model (or series) or a different
motor or manufacturer). In the new diesel-locomotive classification, the fifth
letter refines the horsepower in 100-hp increments: A for 100 hp, B for 200 hp,
C for 300 hp an so on. In this classification, a WDM-3A is a 3100 hp, a WDM-3D
a 3400 hp and a WDM-3F a 3600 hp locomotive.[a] Diesel locomotives are
fitted with auxiliary power units, which save almost 88 percent of fuel during
idle time when a train is not running.
