Changes

[[Delhi]] had six railway systems linking together all the major railway systems of India

<big>'''Original Delhi Station'''</big>

<br>. The new realigned track included the ‘Minto Railway Bridge’ over the Minto Road (connecting Connaught Place to the New Delhi Railway Station - Ajmeri Gate side) and the ‘Tilak Rail Bridge’ were part of this realigned line. The [[East Indian Railway | ‘East Indian Railway Company’]] that overlooked railways in the region, sanctioned the construction of a single story building and a single platform between Ajmeri Gate and Paharganj in 1926. This was the start of what was later known as ‘New Delhi Railway Station’. The government's plans to have the new station built inside the Central Park of Connaught Place was rejected by the Railways as it found the idea impractical. In 1927–28, New Delhi Capital Works project involving construction of 4.79 miles (7.71 km) of new lines was completed. The Viceroy and royal retinue entered the city through the new railway station during the inauguration of New Delhi in 1931. New structures were added to the railway station later and the original building served as the parcel office for many years.
