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 manyrailway 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.

China railway

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 coalmine 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

ChinaBEIJING, 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.
