History The history of rail transport in India began in the mid-nineteenth century. The core of the pressure for building Railways in India came from London. In 1849, there was not a single kilometre of railway line in India. A British engineer, Robert Maitland Brereton, was responsible for the expansion of the railways from 1857 onwards. The Allahabad-Jabalpur branch line of the East Indian Railway had been opened in June 1867. Brereton was responsible for linking this with the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, resulting in a combined network of 6,400 km (4,000 mi). Hence it became possible to travel directly from Bombay to Calcutta. This route was officially opened on 7 March 1870 and it was part of the inspiration for French writer Jules Verne's book Around the World in Eighty Days. At the opening ceremony, the Viceroy Lord Mayo concluded that it was thought desirable that, if possible, at the earliest possible moment, the whole country should be covered with a network of lines in a uniform system By 1875, about 95 million were invested by British companies in India guaranteed railways.[6] By 1880 the network had a route mileage of about 14,500 km (9,000 mi), mostly radiating inward from the three major port cities of Bombay, Madras and Calcutta. By 1895, India had started building its own locomotives, and in 1896 sent engineers and locomotives to help build the Uganda Railways. In 1900, the GIPR became a government owned company. The network spread to the modern day states of Assam, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh and soon various autonomous kingdoms began to have their own rail systems. In 1905, an early Railway Board was constituted, but the powers were formally vested under Lord Curzon. It served under the Department of Commerce and Industry and had a government railway official serving as chairman, and a railway manager from England and an agent of one of the company railways as the other two members. For the first time in its history, the Railways began to make a profit. In 1907 almost all the rail companies were taken over by the government. The following year, the first electric locomotive made its appearance. With the arrival of World War I, the railways were used to meet the needs of the British outside India. With the end of the war, the railways were in a state of disrepair and collapse.

In 1920, with the network having expanded to 61,220 km (38,040 mi), a need for central management was mooted by Sir William Acworth. Based on the East India Railway Committee chaired by Acworth, the government took over the management of the Railways and detached the finances of the Railways from other governmental revenues. The period between 1920 and 1929 was a period of economic boom; there were 41,000 mi (66,000 km) of railway lines serving the country; the railways represented a capital value of some 687 million sterling; and they carried over 620 million passengers and approximately 90 million tons of goods each year. Following the Great Depression, the railways suffered economically for the next eight years. The Second World War severely crippled the railways. Starting 1939, about 40% of the rolling stock including locomotives and coaches was taken to the Middle East, the railways workshops were converted to ammunitions workshops and many railway tracks were dismantled to help the Allies in the war. By 1946 all rail systems had been taken over by the government.

RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING Staff are classified into gazetted (Group 'A' and 'B') and non-gazetted (Group 'C' and 'D') employees The recruitment of Group 'A' gazetted employees is carried out by the Union Public Service Commission through exams conducted by it, The recruitment to Group 'C' and 'D' employees on the Indian Railways is done through 20 Railway Recruitment Boards and Railway Recruitment Cells which are controlled by the Railway Recruitment Control Board (RRCB) The training of all cadres is entrusted and shared between six centralised training institutes.

History

The first railroad in China, the Woosung Road began service in July 1876, connecting the edge of Shanghai's American Concession in the present-day Zhabei District with Woosung in the present-day Baoshan District. Built by Jardine & Matheson without approval from the Qing government, it was purchased by the Chinese viceroy Shen Baozhen and dismantled in October 1877, its rails and rolling stock being shipped to Taiwan. The second railway in China was a 10 km railway from Tangshan to Xugezhuang (Kaiping Tramway and Imperial Railways of North China), built in 1881 to transport coal from the coal mine in Tangshan. As was the case in Shanghai, many officers in the Qing government opposed building this railway. Fortunately, the railway was backed by the powerful Viceroy of Zhili, Li Hongzhang, and survived. Nevertheless, further extension of this railway was delayed due to the opposition. The western extension from Xugezhuang to Tianjin was finished by 1888. The eastern extension started from Tangshan, and by 1894, it had reached Shanhaiguan and Suizhong. This railway was then called "Guanneiwai Railway" (literally, inner and outer Shanhaiguan railway). The next effort was made by Taiwan Governor Liu Mingchuan. From 1887 to 1893, 107 km of railway tracks were laid from Keelung to Taipei to Hsinchu. However, this railway was later demolished for modernization when Taiwan was under Japanese rule.

RAIL TRAFFIC

China

BEIJING, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Railway traffic during China's seven-day National Day holiday hit record high with over 70 million passengers, statistics from the China Railway Corporation showed on Monday. On Monday, the last day of the Golden Week, railways across the country are scheduled to carry 8.5 million passengers, according to the company. Some trains running through the southeastern coastal areas were suspended to ensure passenger safety following the landing of Typhoon Fitow. Three more bullet trains have been arranged by the Nanchang Railway Bureau to meet passengers' traffic needs on Monday, according to railway authorities.

Produce 1,000 more engines that can pull 5,000 tons of goods and run at 120 km an hour in the next five years. The Ministry of Railways, says the fast train service to be launched by 2010 will cut train trips between Beijing and Shanghai from current 14 hours to only five hours. China now has 75,000 kilometres of railways, with 6,500 kilometres built in the last five years. China's economy has been developing at an annual rate of more than 9 percent on average, but the length of its railways grows at a 9.5-percent increase in five years China will build 19,800 kilometres of new railway lines, modernize 15,000 kilometres of existing railway lines, boost passenger train speed to 200 km per hour with fast trains travelling at more than 300 km an hour, and increase the load of freight trains with a single engine hauling over 5,000 tons.

Railway investment surged 80 percent to 600 billion Yuan in 2009 boosted by the 4-trillion Yuan stimulus package. The government has planned a record 823.5 billion Yuan for 2010 to extend the network to 90,000 kilometres by the end of this year. The Shanghai metro is among the most rapidly expanding in the world. After the first line opened only in 1995 as a north-south axis from the Central Station to the southern suburbs, the Shanghai Metro system has reached a total length of over 420 km in 2010, comprising 11 lines! All metro lines are operated by Shanghai Metro Operation Co. Ltd., and they have 1435 mm standard gauge, with 1500 V dc being supplied via an overhead catenary. Standard platforms are 150-190 m long.

METROS
India Delhi Metro (Hindi: ) is a rapid transit system serving Delhi, Gurgaon, Faridabad,

Noida, and Ghaziabad in the National Capital Region of India. Delhi Metro is the world's thirteenth largest metro system in terms of length. Delhi Metro is India's first modern public transportation system,which has revolutionized travel by providing a fast, reliable, safe, and comfortable means of transport. The network consists of six lines with a total length of 189.63 kilometres (117.83 mi) with 142 stations, of which 35 are underground, five are at-grade, and the remainder are elevated. All stations have escalators, elevators, and tactile tiles to guide the visually impaired from station entrances to trains. It has a combination of elevated, at-grade, and underground lines, and uses both broad gauge and standard gauge rolling stock. Four types of rolling stock are used: Mitsubishi Rotem broad gauge, Bombardier Movia, Mitsubishi Rotem standard gauge, and CAF Beasain standard gauge. Delhi Metro was being built and operated by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRC), a state-owned company with equal equity participation from Government of India and Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi. However, the organisation is under administrative control of Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India. Besides construction and operation of Delhi metro, DMRC is also involved in the planning and implementation of metro rail, monorail and high-speed rail projects in India and providing consultancy services to other metro projects in the country as well as abroad. As of November 2010, DMRC operates around 2,700 trips daily between 06:00 and 23:00 running with an interval of 2 minutes 40 seconds between trains at peak frequency. The trains are usually of four and six coaches, but due to increase in the number of passengers, eight-coach trains are also added on the Yellow Line (Jahangirpuri to HUDA city centre) and Blue line (Dwarka Sector-21 to Noida City Centre/Vaishali) Yellow line is the first one with eight coach trains The power output is supplied by 25-kilovolt, 50-hertz alternating current through overhead catenary. The metro has an average daily ridership of 2.5 million commuters, and, as of August 2010, had already carried over 1.25 billion commuters since its inception. The Delhi Metro Rail

Corporation has been certified by the United Nations as the first metro rail and rail-based system in the world to get "carbon credits for reducing greenhouse gas emissions" and helping in reducing pollution levels in the city by 630,000 tonnes every year. Planning for the metro started in 1984, when the Delhi Development Authority and the Urban Arts Commission came up with a proposal for developing a multi-modal transport system for the city. The Government of India and the Government of Delhi jointly set up the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) registered on 3 May 1995 under the Companies Act, 1956. Construction started in 1998, and the first section, on the Red Line, opened in 2002, followed by the Yellow Line in 2004, the Blue Line in 2005, its branch line in 2009, the Green and Violet Lines in 2010, and the Delhi Airport Metro Express in 2011

China The Shanghai Metro is the rapid transit system of Shanghai, China. The system incorporates both subway and light metro lines. The first line opened in 1993, making Shanghai the third city in mainland China, after Beijing and Tianjin, to have a rapid transit system. Since then, the Shanghai Metro has become one of the fastest-growing rapid transit systems in the world, with several lines still under construction. Overall, there are 12 metro lines and 303 stations, with an operating route length of 468 kilometres (291 mi) making the system the second longest in the world. The Shanghai Metro ranks third in the world in annual ridership, with 2.276 billion rides delivered in 2012. It set a daily ridership record of 8.486 million on March 9, 2013. On October 16 in 2013, with the extension of Line 11 into Kunshan, Jiangsu, Shanghai Metro made history when it became the first rapid transit system in the world to connect two different administrative divisions in a country or state.
