N2  - "This book was published to celebrate one hundred years (1853-1953) of the Indian Railways. During this period Indian Railways played an important role in the economic, social and political life of the country. It helped to bridge distances and brought the producers in distant and previously inaccessible areas into close contact with the consuming centres and also helped in the growth of large-scale enterprises and the steady industrialisation of the country. In this absorbing book the readers will get a glimpse of this amazing journey of the Indian Railways right from the beginning of rail construction in India, the later phases of expansion and development, the problems it faced and the final emergence of Indian Railways as the largest national undertaking in India."--
