Evolution of Indian Railways 
The first railway on Indian sub-continent ran over a stretch of 21 miles from Bombay 
to Thane. The idea of a railway to connect Bombay with Thane, Kalyan and with the 
Thal and Bhore Ghats inclines first occurred to Mr. George Clark, the Chief Engineer 
of the Bombay Government, during a visit to Bhandup in 1843. 
 
The formal inauguration ceremony was performed on 16th April 1853, when 14 
railway carriages carrying about 400 guests left Bori Bunder at 3.30 pm "amidst the 
loud applause of a vast multitude and to the salute of 21 guns." The first passenger 
train steamed out of Howrah station destined for Hooghly, a distance of 24 miles, on 
15th August, 1854. Thus the first section of the East Indian Railway was opened to 
public traffic, inaugurating the beginning of railway transport on the Eastern side of 
the sub-continent. 
 
In south the first line was opened on Ist July, 1856 by the Madras Railway Company. 
It ran between Vyasarpadi Jeeva Nilayam (Veyasarpandy) and Walajah Road 
(Arcot), a distance of 63 miles. In the North a length of 119 miles of line was laid from 
Allahabad to Kanpur on 3rd March 1859. The first section from Hathras Road to 
Mathura Cantonment was opened to traffic on 19th October, 1875. 
 
These were the small beginnings which is due course developed into a network of 
railway lines all over the country. By 1880 the Indian Railway system had a route 
mileage of about 9000 miles. Indian Railways, the premier transport organization of 
the country is the largest rail network in Asia and the world's second largest under 
one management. 
 
Indian Railways is the lifeline of the nation. It traverses the length and breadth of the 
country providing the required connectivity and integration for balanced regional 
development. The system never rests; it has been up and working unceasingly for 
the last several decades. It is an integral part of every Indian’s being. It is one of the 
pillars of the nation.
