The GoI took over the direct running of the EIR on 1 January 1925.
==== Indian Railways ====
In 1952, the EIR was split to form two zones of [[Indian Railways]]. The Moradabad, Lucknow & Ellahabad Division was subsuned into [[Northern Railway]] while the EIR remainder was merged with the [[Bengal-Nagpur Railway]] (BNR) to form Indian Railways' '''[[Eastern Railway''']]. In This latter merger was not considered a success as, in 1955, BNR was demerged to form '''[[South East Eastern Railway''']].
== Schools ==
The EIR operated many schools, of which probably the best known was [[Schools#O|Oak Grove School ]] at [[Mussoorie]]. Oak Grove School is still associated with [[Indian Railways ]] and further information can be found [[Schools|hereNorthern Railway]].
