Indian Railway Signaling
CHAPTER – I HISTORY OF RAILWAYS AND EVOLUTION OF SIGNALLING SYSTEM 1 Evolution of Indian Railways: 1.1 The fundamentals of Railway transportation are to move vast traffic carrying goods and people speedily and with safety on a prepared track that supports and guides the vehicles which roll along its surface. A railway train must go where the rails lead it to. The process might have begun accidentally when Babylonians and perhaps their Sumerian ancestors observed that their two wheeled, animal drawn, carriage gauged out parallel ruts in the ground path, which they most commonly followed. Greeks made the smooth stone ways for transporting their heavy material for building monuments. Thus the railway existed even earlier to evolution of steam engines as long back as 2245 BC i.e. some 4250 years back. 1.2 Horse traction began after introduction of iron rails and lasted beyond 19th century. The revolution to transport industry came with the evolution of steam engines. Although steam loco was invented in 1803 but it took innumerable refinements before it could be adopted for reliable and safe substitute for horse. The story of railways as we perceive to is 180 years old only. A pair of bullocks hauled traffic on first indigenously financed railways named as Gailwar’s Baroda State railway (GBSR), which was opened in 1863. 1.3 Idea to connect the then Bombay with Thana with a railway track was conceived by Chief Engineer, Bombay Government in 1843. Great India Peninsula Railway (GIPR) Company was incorporated in England by an act of Parliament on 1st August, 1849. -

Audit of Railway Finance and Appropriation Accounts with the Systematized Training Documents for Continuous Training of Officers and Staff Working in Railway Audit
STRUCTURED Training Manual On Audit Of Finance and APPROPRIATION ACCOUNTS OF Railways Regional Training Institute, Kolkata CGO Complex, (5th Floor, A-Wing), DF Block Salt Lake, Kolkata-70064 June, 2014 Preface Structured Training Manual on Audit of Finance and Appropriation Accounts of Railways Training Need: In view of Railway organization’s huge net work with multiple activities and procedural diversities in different Departments and units of the Indian Railways the accounting systems and set up are also different. The Railways in India are as much as Government concern as well as commercial enterprise as they are engaged in manufacturing and in selling of transport services thus earning profits, maintaining its own assets and paying interest (i.e. dividend) to the General Revenues. The Government Accounts are kept purely on cash basis whereas the accounts of the Railways are kept on accrual basis. While the Railway is required to keep the records, prepare and present the reports in commercial terms it has also to feed the information to Government in the format prescribed for that. Therefore, the Railway has to maintain various accounts and records for meeting the requirements of both. It is, therefore, necessary to equip the Railway Audit offices to conduct audit of Railway finance and Appropriation Accounts with the systematized training documents for continuous training of officers and staff working in Railway Audit. Hence, this Structured Training Manual has been prepared to cope up with the situation. Aim: The training will equip the participants with adequate knowledge of the Accounting Structure of Railways and various types of accounts/statements and documents prepared to reflect the financial picture of the Railways. -
