The '''East Indian Railway Regiment''' was an [[auxiliary regiment]] under the Bengal command. It included staff of the [[East Indian Railway]].

:"On Tuesdays and Fridays the volunteers parade. A and B Companies, 150 strong in all, of the E.I.R. Volunteers, are stationed here with the band. Their uniform, grey with red facings, is not lovely, but they know how to shoot and drill. They have to. The ‘Company’ makes it a condition of service that a man must be a volunteer; and volunteer in something more than name he must be, or someone will ask the reason why. Seeing that there are no regulars between Howrah and Dinapore, the ‘Company’ does well in exacting this toll."<ref>[http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/k/kipling/rudyard/railway/index.html Among the Railway Folk] by Rudyard Kipling 1888.
