'''Indian Railway Conference Association'''
==History==
The ‘Railway Conference’ was first established in 1879. The periodic meetings of the Conference brought senior railway officials together to formulate policies and procedures that would enhance inter-line cooperation and coordination <ref>[https://books.google.co.uk/books?hl=en&lr=&id=TPB5RTODBJAC&oi=fnd&pg=PR7&dq=related:DzaXcOnJFUllxM:scholar.google.com/&ots=6f9_4eOOAC&sig=c8uUUmZ_hq54k9zTZH1kyt8sAjs#v=onepage&q=Conference&f=false Google Books "India's Railway History: A Research Handbook" by John Hurd II, Ian J. Kerr, page 15]; Retrieved 26 Jun 2016</ref>. This by developing  rules and regulations for booking of traffic and interchange of trains between railways; also  to act as a consultative Committee and as a Board of Arbitration <ref name= IRCA>[http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/IRCA/index.jsp Indian Railways "Indian Railway Conference Association"]; Retrieved 26 Jun 2016</ref>.


The 'Indian Railway Conference Association' (IRCA) came into existence in the year 1902. At that time railway network in India consisted of 19 privately owned separate railways systems covering a total of 8,475 miles (13,640 km). Each company had formulated its own rules and regulations regarding charging, booking and carriage of Passengers and Goods. Due to multiplicity of rules the user was very much inconvenienced. IRCA was formed to overcome the difficulties in regard to different rules and regulations and to frame rules regarding movement of wagons of one railway system over the other.<ref name= IRCA/>
Subsequently the Committees for prescribing common standards for wagon maintenance and Classification were formed and by 1926 it was decided to have permanent Committees and Technical sections covering all spheres of Railway working under IRCA <ref name= IRCA/>, consisting of the following:
*Mechanical Engineering Committee.
*Electrical Engineers Committee
*Civil Engineering Committee
*Signal Engineering Committee
*Metallurgical & Chemical Engineering Committee.
