The full style of the system was His Exalted Highness, The Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway (NGSR) which had its beginnings in a line built privately by the NIzam, to the dismay of the British authorities.
History
The earliest sections of the NGSR were commenced during the 1870s, variously financed, constructed and operated.
In 1883, a management company was formed to gradually take over these lines, under the provision of a guarantee from the Government of HEH the Nizam of Hyderabad State.
In 1930, the State of Hyderabad assumed operational control of the system.
In 1950, the NGSR was nationalised and in 1951 became part of Central Railway, a zone of Indian Railways.
