Railways were first introduced to India in 1853 from Bombay to Thane. In
1951 the systems were nationalized as one unit, the Indian Railways,
becoming one of the largest networks in the world. IR operates both long
distance and suburban rail systems on a multi-gauge network of broad,
meter and narrow gauges. It also owns locomotive and coach production
facilities at several places in India and are assigned codes identifying
their gauge, kind of power and type of operation. Its operations cover
twenty nine states and seven union territories and also provide limited
international services to Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

(36%) of the total 65,000 km (40,000 mi) route length was electrified.
Since 1960, almost all electrified sections on IR use 25,000 Volt AC
traction through overhead catenary delivery.

track train schedules.
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.
Indian Railways runs around 11,000 trains everyday, of which 7,000 are
passenger trains.
Zones of Indian Railways
Indian Railways is divided into several zones, which are further subdivided
into divisions. The number of zones in Indian Railways increased
from six to eight in 1951, nine in 1952 and sixteen in 2003 and now
seventeen. Each zonal railway is made up of a certain number of
divisions, each having a divisional headquarters. There are a total of
sixty-nine divisions.

reports directly to the Railway Board. The zones are further divided into
divisions under the control of divisional railway managers (DRM).
