Rajputana State Railway(RSR)

History

The Rajputana State Railway was formed by the joining of the Rajputana - Agra District Railway and the Rajputana - Delhi District Railway. The line was metre gauge(MG) and the initial construction started in 1873. Delhi was linked to Agra via Alwar and Bandikui in 1874. [1]

In 1875, the line had extended as far as Ajmer with the aim to reach Ahmadabad and to connect to the Broad Gauge (BG) of the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway(BB&CIR).

In 1879, the RSR was again authorised to build new lines in metre gauge.

In 1881-82, the Rajputana-Malwa State Railway (RMSR) was created amalgamating, under single management, existing State Railways:-

All these State railways were worked by Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway(BB&CIR)
