This book commemorates 150 years of railways in India. Introduced under colonial rule in the second half of the nineteenth century, the railways soon embraced the length and breadth of India bringing with it rapid political, economic, ecological and cultural changes. The articles in this book explore the impact of this technological phenomenon from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives. From early railway thinking in renaissance Bengal, to railway policing in Uttar Pradesh and issues of management to railway themes in literature, the writers in this volume reveal the world of the railways in all its exciting facets. The photo essay invokes the nostalgic world of steam with a series of evocative images. In the twenty-first century, the ever expanding horizon of the railways continues to draw in people and goods in the third largest railway network in the world.

The Steam Locomotives were the pioneer locomotives in India and they helped the Railways reach to every part of the country. The steam locomotives have a very rich history, given the number of types used and the over century long operational usage. Their rich heritage can be gauged from the fact that they are still in operation today, while DC locomotives which were introduced much later, have faded away. In this book, we look into this rich history and see each of them in details.
