ABOUT INDIAN RAILWAYS • 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. • The first railway in the Indian subcontinent ran over a stretch of 21 miles from Bombay to Thane. PREFACE ❍ v • The idea of a railway to connect Bombay with Thane, Kalyan, and with the Thal and Bhore Ghats 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 16 April 1853, when 14 railway carriages carrying about 400 guests left Bori Bunder. • The first passenger train steamed out of Howrah station destined for Hooghly, a distance of 24 miles, on 15 August 1854. • 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 subcontinent. • In the South, the first line was opened on 1 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 3 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 in 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. • Today, the Indian Railways is a multi-gauge, multi-traction system covering: Gauge Route Running Track Total Track (in km) (in km) (in km) Broad Gauge (1676 mm) 55,188 77,347 1,02,680 Meter Gauge (1000 mm) 6,809 7,219 8,561 Narrow Gauge (762 mm and 610 mm) 2,463 2,474 2,753 TOTAL 64,460 87,040 1,13,994 • The rolling stock fleet of Indian Railways in service as on 31 March 2011 comprised 43 Steam, 5137 diesel and 4033 electric locomotives.

  • UNIT-1 History of Indian Railways Introduction
    UNIT-1 History of Indian Railways Introduction In the year 1832 the first Railway running on steam engine, was launched in England. Thereafter on 1st of August, 1849 the Great Indian Peninsular Railways Company was established in India. On 17th of August 1849, a contract was signed between the Great Indian Peninsular Railways Company and East India Company. As a result of the contract an experiment was made by laying a railway track between Bombay and Thane (56 Kms). On 16th April, 1853, the first train service was started from Bombay to Thane. On 15th August, 1854, the 2nd train service commenced between Howrah and Hubli. On the 1st July, 1856, the 3rd train service in India and first in South India commenced between Vyasarpadi and Walajah Road and on the same day the section between Vyasarpadi and Royapuram by Madras Railway Company was also opened. Subsequently construction of this efficient transport system began simultaneously in different parts of the Country. By the end of 19th Century 24752 Kms. of rail track was laid for traffic. At this juncture the power, capital, revenue rested with the British. Revenue started flowing through passenger as well as through goods traffic. Organizational structure Railway zones Indian Railways is divided into several zones, which are further sub-divided into divisions. The number of zones in Indian Railways increased from six to eight in 1951, nine in 1952 and sixteen in 2003.

Enhancing speed of trains: At present, speed of trains of Mail/Express trains is below 55 kmph. These are low as per international standards. Segregation of freight and passenger traffic, enhancing the sectional speeds, and rationalization of stoppages are important measures for speed enhancement. The speed of especially the passenger trains is quite low at present primarily because of the coaching stock in use and due to multiplicity of stoppages enroute. There is scope for speeding up of these services by replacing trains with conventional stock by fast moving EMUs/MEMUs/DEMUs. Enhancing the sectional speeds is another enabling factor in speeding them.

ANSWER MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND COMMERCE & INDUSTRY (SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL) (a) and (b) GreenCo Rating, developed by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), has been acknowledged in India's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) document, submitted to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2015, as a proactive voluntary action of Indian industry / private sector towards combating climate change. Assessment and rating of major Workshops and Production Units of Indian Railways as Green Industrial Units started with ‘GreenCo’ certification in 2016-17. It helps the industrial units in identifying and implementing various possible measures in terms of energy conservation, material conservation, recycling, utilisation of renewable energy, Green House Gases (GHG) reduction, water conservation, solid and liquid waste management, green cover etc. Increasing focus in these areas helps Railways in resource conservation and reduction in intensity of environmental impact. This system is beneficial for the environment as the GreenCo rating assesses the units on their environmental performance and thus aligns them to national priorities towards environment such as energy efficiency, water conservation, renewable energy, waste management, etc.
