Excerpt from History of the East Indian Railway It is not everyone who realizes what a great undertaking the East Indian Railway is, or what it has done and is doing for the people and the trade of India and particularly of Calcutta. Yet the author hardly ventures to expect that this endeavour, to outline the more important events in its history, will prove attractive to the general reader, or help him to an appreciation of the facts. It is chiefly for those who are or have been associated with or employed on the East Indian Railway that this book has been written, and if these, as well as those who enter its service in the future, find something in its pages to interest them, the writer will be rewarded. The author would only add that in attempting the work he has been prompted by a feeling that unless something was done now, to place on record facts which are so easily forgotten and so soon buried in oblivion, the opportunity would be lost. No one can be more conscious than he is of the many defects and imperfections of his effort, and had anyone else evinced a desire to undertake the task, he would not have set it himself.

The epic story of the British construction of the railways in India, as told by Britain's bestselling transport historian. 'Christian Wolmar is Britain's foremost railway historian.' The Times 'Our leading writer on the railways' Guardian 'Christian Wolmar is in love with railways... He is their wisest, most detailed historian' Observer India joined the railway age late: the first line was not completed until 1853 but, by 1929, 41,000 miles of track served the country. However, the creation of this vast network was not intended to modernize India for the sake of its people but rather was a means for the colonial power to govern the huge country under its control, serving its British economic and military interests. Despite the dubious intentions behind the construction of the network, the Indian people quickly took to the railways, as the trains allowed them to travel easily for the first time. The Indian Railways network remains one of the largest in the world, serving over 25 million passengers each day. In this expertly told history, Christian Wolmar reveals the full story of India's railways, from its very beginnings to the present day, and examines the chequered role they have played in Indian history and the creation of today's modern state.

From the mid-nineteenth century onwards, railways became increasingly important in the lives of a growing number of Indians. While allowing millions to collectively experience the endemic discomforts of third-class travel, the public opportunities for proximity and contact created by railways simultaneously compelled colonial society to confront questions about exclusion, difference, and community. It was not only passengers, however, who were affected by the transformations that railways wrought. Even without boarding a train, one could see railway tracks and embankments reshaping familiar landscapes, realise that train schedules represented new temporal structures, fear that spreading railway links increased the reach of contagion, and participate in new forms of popular politics focused around railway spaces. Tracks of Change explores how railway technology, travel, and infrastructure became increasingly woven into everyday life in colonial India, how people negotiated with the growing presence of railways, and how this process has shaped India's history.
