Schemes for railways in India were germinating in the early 1840s, but years of argument delayed the first train until 1853, four years before the Mutiny. They began experimentally and developed erratically, with imported locomotives and materials. Building the system involved remarkable feats of track laying, tunnelling and bridge building as well as the no less remarkable exercise of improvisation and perseverance. Railways were the key to the development of the hinterland and the sole means of travel within the subcontinent. They facilitated political control and were therefore, of geat strategic importance. For many people, named or nameless, they were a source of work and a way of life. As Paul theroux says in his foreword the railway was the bloodstream of India. 'Railways of the Raj' brings together early photographs of the rolling stock, scenery, people, architecture, triumphs, comedy and disasters of Indian railways before the First World War.
