2006年，到2006年，鐵路局將鐵路劃分為16個區(qū)域。
這些是印度鐵路歷史上的一些重大事件。但是，請記住，印度鐵路是一個龐大的網絡（約115000公里）。

Sourindra Laha
Indian Railways is the living legacy of the Britishers. The first commercial rail may run between Bombay and Thane, but the first Railways in India was used by the Britishers in present Uttrakhand. The first train in the country had run between Roorkee and Piran Kaliyar on December 22, 1851 to temporarily solve the then irrigation problems of farmers, large quantity of clay was required which was available in Piran Kaliyar area, 10 km away from Roorkee. This made the first way for our present Railway system. Later in 1852, prior to the first commercial run of the train in India, Britishers broke the Western Wall of Shahjhanabad, to lay down the rail lines from the fort to the then developing Delhi Cantonment. But this thing is very less known to the people. Because of being a Military movement for the British Colonial Government.

印度鐵路是英國人留下的不朽遺產。第一條商業(yè)鐵路可能在孟買和塔那之間運行，但印度的第一條鐵路是由英國人在現(xiàn)在的北阿坎德邦使用的。1851年12月22日，該國第一列火車在魯爾基和皮蘭卡利亞爾(Piran Kaliyar)之間運行，以暫時解決當時農民的灌溉問題，需要大量粘土，而這些粘土在距離魯爾基10公里的皮蘭·卡利耶爾地區(qū)可以得到。這為我們現(xiàn)在的鐵路系統(tǒng)開辟了第一條道路。1852年晚些時候，在印度的第一次商業(yè)列車運行之前，英國人推倒了Shahjhanabad堡的西墻，鋪設從堡壘到當時正在開發(fā)的德里軍營的鐵路線。但是這件事很少為人們所知。因為這是英國殖民政府的軍事運動。

History of Associations: 1845, along with Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy, Hon. Jaganath Shunkerseth (known as Nana Shankarsheth) formed the Indian Railway Association. Eventually, the association was incorporated into the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, and Jeejeebhoy and Shankarsheth became the only two Indians among the ten directors of the GIP railways. As a director, Shankarsheth participated in the very first commercial train journey in India between Bombay and Thane on 16 April 1853 in a 14 carriage long train drawn by 3 locomotives named Sultan, Sindh and Sahib. It was around 21 miles in length and took approximately 45 minutes.

協(xié)會歷史：1845年，賈格納特·尚克塞斯閣下（又名Nana Shankarsheth）與Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy爵士一起成立了印度鐵路協(xié)會。最終，該協(xié)會被并入大印度半島鐵路公司，Jeejebhoy和Shankarsheth成為大印度半島鐵路公司十名董事中僅有的兩名印度人。作為一名董事，Shankarsheth于1853年4月16日乘坐一列14節(jié)車廂長的列車參加了印度孟買和塔那之間的第一次商業(yè)列車旅行，該列車由由三輛分別命名為Sultan、Sindh和Sahib的火車頭牽引;該鐵路線長約21英里，耗時約45分鐘。

But actually at that present time Calcutta was the capital of British India, hence was first decided to operate the first Railways in India from Calcutta, now Kolkata. But the ship which sailed from Britain to India, somehow met with a fateful accident and hence get submerged in the deep ocean waters. And hence the first contract of Railways went to Bombay/Mumbai now.
The Railway Companies: After the formation of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway (GIPR), opened in 1853, between Bombay and Thane. The East Indian Railway Company was established 1 June 1845 in London by a deed of settlement with a capital of ￡4,000,000, largely raised in London. The Great Southern India Railway Co. was founded in Britain in 1853 and registered in 1859. Construction of track in Madras Presidency began in 1859 and the 80-mile lix from Trichinopoly to Negapatam was opened in 1861. The Carnatic Railway founded in 1864, opened a Madras-Arakkonam-Kancheepuram line in 1865. The Great Southern India Railway Company was subsequently merged with the Carnatic Railway Company in 1874 to form the South Indian Railway Company.

但實際上，當時加爾各答是英屬印度的首都，因此首先決定從現(xiàn)在的加爾各答運營印度的第一條鐵路。但是這艘從英國駛往印度的船，不知怎的遭遇了一場致命的事故，因此被淹沒在了深海中。因此，鐵路公司的第一份合同給了孟買。
鐵路公司：大印度半島鐵路（GIPR）成立后，于1853年在孟買和塔那之間開通。東印度鐵路公司于1845年6月1日在倫敦根據契約成立，資本為400萬英鎊，主要在倫敦籌集。大南印度鐵路公司于1853年在英國成立，并于1859年注冊。馬德拉斯管轄區(qū)的軌道建設始于1859年，從特里奇諾波利到奈伽帕塔姆(Negapatam)的80英里長的鐵路于1861年開通?？{蒂克鐵路成立于1864年，于1865年開通了馬德拉斯-阿拉科南-坎奇普蘭線。大南印度鐵路公司隨后于1874年與卡納蒂克鐵路公司合并，成立了南印度鐵路有限公司。

Expansion of British Indian Railways: 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 lixing this with the GIPR, 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".

英屬印度鐵路的擴建：1857年起，英國工程師羅伯特·梅特蘭·布里爾頓（Robert Maitland Brereton）負責鐵路的擴建。東印度鐵路的阿拉哈巴德-賈巴爾普爾支線于1867年6月開通。布里爾頓（Brereton）負責將其與大印度半島鐵路（GIPR）連接起來，形成了一個6400公里（4000英里）的綜合鐵路網絡。因此，從孟買直接前往加爾各答成為可能。這條路線于1870年3月7日正式開通，是法國作家儒勒·凡爾納（Jules Verne）的《八十天環(huán)游世界》一書的靈感來源之一。在啟動儀式上，總督梅奧勛爵總結道，“人們認為，如果可能的話，應盡早在全國范圍內鋪設統(tǒng)一系統(tǒng)的鐵路網絡”。

Hence in between, when the Railways were expanding itself in India, Britishers launched there first elite train, East Indian Mail in 1866, between Calcutta and Simla. This train later went on to become the oldest train in Indian Railways and the train with most no of coaches.Not to mention now known as Kalka Mail.
Then came the first luxurious train of India, the Imperial Mail. At that time this train is just like the present day Palace on Wheels.

因此，在這期間，當鐵路公司在印度擴張時，英國人于1866年在加爾各答和西姆拉之間開通了第一列精英列車“東印度郵政（East Indian Mail）”。這列火車后來成為印度鐵路中最古老的火車，也是車廂最少的火車。更不用說現(xiàn)在被稱為“卡爾卡”(Kalka Mail)號特快列車了。
然后是印度的第一列豪華火車“皇家郵政”。在那個時候，這列火車就像現(xiàn)在車輪上的宮殿。

Later stage: By 1875, about ￡95 million were invested by British companies in India. 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 British government owned company. The network spread to the modern day states of Assam, Rajasthan, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and soon various independent kingdoms began to have their own rail systems. In 1901, an early Railway Board was constituted, but the powers were formally invested 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.

后期：到1875年，英國公司在印度投資了大約9500萬英鎊。到1880年，該網絡的路線里程約為14500公里（9000英里），主要從孟買、馬德拉斯和加爾各答三個主要港口城市向內輻射。到1895年，印度開始建造自己的火車頭，并于1896年派遣工程師和火車頭幫助建造烏干達鐵路。1900年，大印度半島鐵路（GIPR）成為英國政府所有的公司。該網絡擴展到現(xiàn)代的阿薩姆邦、拉賈斯坦邦、特倫甘納邦和安得拉邦，很快各個獨立王國開始擁有自己的鐵路系統(tǒng)。1901年，成立了早期的鐵路委員會，但這些權力是在寇松勛爵的領導下正式授予的。它隸屬于商務部和工業(yè)部，由一位政府鐵路官員擔任主席，另外兩位成員是一位來自英國的鐵路經理和一家鐵路公司的代理人。鐵路公司有史以來第一次開始盈利。

Revenues: The period between 1920 and 1929 was a period of economic boom. Following the Great Depression, however, the company suffered economically for the next eight years. The Second World War severely crippled the railways. Trains were diverted to the Middle East and later, the Far East to combat the Japanese. Railway workshops were converted to ammunitions workshops and some tracks (such as Churchgate to Colaba in Bombay) were dismantled for use in war in other countries. By 1946 all rail systems had been taken over by the government

收入：1920年至1929年期間是經濟繁榮時期。然而，在大蕭條之后，該公司在接下來的八年里遭受了經濟損失。第二次世界大戰(zhàn)使鐵路嚴重癱瘓?；疖嚤晦D移到中東，后來為了與日本人作戰(zhàn)又被轉移到遠東。鐵路車間被改建為彈藥車間，一些軌道（如孟買的從教堂門站到克拉巴站）被拆除，用于其他國家的戰(zhàn)爭。到1946年，所有的鐵路系統(tǒng)都被政府接管了

Later Developments: In 1904, the idea to electrify the railway network was proposed by W.H White, chief engineer of the then Bombay Presidency government. He proposed the electrification of the two Bombay-based companies, the Great Indian Peninsula Railway and the Bombay Baroda and Central India Railway (now known as CR and WR respectively).

后來的發(fā)展：1904年，時任孟買總統(tǒng)府總工程師W.H White提出了鐵路網電氣化的想法。他提議對兩家總部位于孟買的公司進行電氣化改造，即大印度半島鐵路和孟買巴羅達鐵路和印度中部鐵路(現(xiàn)在分別被稱為CR和WR)。

Collapsing of Railways: 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. Large scale corruption by British officials involved in the running of these railways companies was rampant. Profits were never reinvested in the development of British colonial India. 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.

鐵路崩潰：隨著第一次世界大戰(zhàn)的到來，鐵路被用來滿足英國在印度以外的需求。隨著戰(zhàn)爭的結束，鐵路處于失修和坍塌的狀態(tài)。參與這些鐵路公司運營的英國官員的大規(guī)模腐敗十分猖獗。利潤從未再投資于英國殖民地印度的發(fā)展。1920年，隨著網絡擴展到61220公里（38040英里），威廉·阿克沃斯爵士提出了中央管理的必要性。在阿克沃斯主持的東印度鐵路委員會的基礎上，政府接管了鐵路的管理工作，并將鐵路的財務與其他政府收入分離。1920年至1929年期間是經濟繁榮時期；有41000英里（66000公里）的鐵路線為該國服務；鐵路的資本價值約為6.87億英鎊；它們每年運送超過6.2億名乘客和大約9000萬噸貨物。

Following the Great Depression, the railways suffered economically for the next eight years. The Second World War severely crippled the railways. Starting in 1939, about 40% of the rolling stock including locomotives and coaches was taken to the Middle East. The railway workshops were converted to ammunition workshops and many railway tracks were dismantled to help the Allies in the war. By 1946, all railway systems had been taken over by the government.

大蕭條之后，鐵路在接下來的八年里遭受了經濟損失。第二次世界大戰(zhàn)使鐵路嚴重癱瘓。從1939年開始，包括火車頭在內的大約40%的鐵路車輛被運往中東。鐵路車廂被改建為彈藥車間，許多鐵軌被拆除，以幫助盟軍參與戰(zhàn)爭。到1946年，所有的鐵路系統(tǒng)都被政府接管了。

The British Colonial Railways went to this state from a huge revenue collecting company to a debt ridden company. After the World War 2 British Colonial Railways lost 151 Billion Dollars.
Reason for shutdown: For the need of the British forces and it allies, about 1573 km of railway line was dismantled, almost all the locomotives were taken to the middle east for the services there. All the Railway Workshops were either closed or converted into ammunition factory. While the rolling stocks were dismantled for the need of metals in the war. Moreover the crippling corruption that has taken over the Railway system was also the one of the prime factor for the crippling of the Railways in India.

英國殖民地鐵路公司（British Colonial Railways）從一家龐大的稅收公司發(fā)展成為一家負債累累的公司。第二次世界大戰(zhàn)后，英國殖民地鐵路公司損失了1510億美元。
停運原因：為了英國軍隊及其盟友的需要，大約1573公里的鐵路線被拆除，幾乎所有的火車頭都被送往中東，在那里服役。所有的鐵路車間不是關閉了就是改成了彈藥廠。由于戰(zhàn)爭需要金屬，鐵路車輛被拆除了。此外，接管鐵路系統(tǒng)的嚴重腐敗也是印度鐵路癱瘓的主要因素之一。

Indian Railways in 1909
Indian Railways: Following independence in 1947, India inherited a decrepit rail network.Many lines had to be rerouted through Indian territory and new lines had to be constructed to connect important cities such as Jammu. A total of 42 separate railway systems, including 32 lines owned by the former Indian princely states existed at the time of independence spanning a total of 55,000 km. These were amalgamated into the Indian Railways.In 1952, it was decided to replace the existing rail networks by zones. A total of six zones came into being in 1952. As India developed its economy, almost all railway production units started to be built indigenously. The Railways began to electrify its lines to AC. On 6 September 2003 six further zones were made from existing zones for administration purpose and one more zone added in 2006. The Indian Railways has now sixteen zones.

1909年的印度鐵路
印度鐵路：1947年獨立后，印度繼承了一個破舊的鐵路網。許多線路不得不在印度領土上改道，并且必須建造新的線路來連接查謨等重要城市。獨立時，共有42個獨立的鐵路系統(tǒng)，包括32條在獨立時屬于前印度土邦的鐵路線，總長5.5萬公里。這些鐵路系統(tǒng)被合并為印度鐵路。1952年，政府決定用區(qū)域取代現(xiàn)有的鐵路網。1952年共設立了6個特區(qū)。隨著印度經濟的發(fā)展，幾乎所有的鐵路生產單位都開始在本土建造。鐵路開始將其線路電氣化為交流電。2003年9月6日，在現(xiàn)有的行政區(qū)域基礎上又增加了六個區(qū)域，并于2006年增加了一個區(qū)域。印度鐵路現(xiàn)在有16個區(qū)域。

Who established the Indian Railways and when?
The Indian Railways, the national railway network of India, was established in 1853 by the British East India Company. The first passenger train in India ran between Bombay (now Mumbai) and Thane on April 16, 1853, and the construction of the railway network was completed in 1869. The Indian Railways was initially operated by the British government, but it was later nationalized in 1951 and is now owned and operated by the Government of India.

誰建立了印度鐵路，是什么時候建立的？
印度鐵路是印度的國家鐵路網，由英國東印度公司于1853年建立。1853年4月16日，印度第一列客運列車在孟買和塔那之間運行，1869年鐵路網建設完成。印度鐵路最初由英國政府運營，但后來于1951年國有化，現(xiàn)在由印度政府擁有和運營。

The establishment of the Indian Railways was a major milestone in the history of India and had a significant impact on the country's development. The railways helped to facilitate trade and commerce, and they played a crucial role in the economic and social development of the country. The railways also helped to unite the diverse regions of India and contributed to the country's cultural and linguistic diversity. Today, the Indian Railways is one of the largest railway networks in the world and serves as an important transportation artery for the country.

印度鐵路的建立是印度歷史上的一個重要里程碑，對該國的發(fā)展產生了重大影響。鐵路有助于促進貿易和商業(yè)，在國家的經濟和社會發(fā)展中發(fā)揮了至關重要的作用。鐵路也有助于印度不同地區(qū)的團結，并有助于該國的文化和語言多樣性。如今，印度鐵路是世界上最大的鐵路網之一，也是該國重要的交通干線。
