'''Punjaub Railway'''


''Note''
*The spelling of “Punjaub Railway” is variable. This railway was formed in period from  1855 to 1860's and the spelling of the Company names reflect that period. 
*“Punjaub” is the spelling adopted in the legislation of the time - see ["Government Statute Law Repeals 2012" pages 134-135, paragraphs 3.78-3.83|"Government Statute Law Repeals 2012" pages 134-135, paragraphs 3.78-3.83] <ref name=name> [https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/228649/8330.pdf  H.M. Government “Statute Law Repeals: Nineteenth Report : Draft Statute Law (Repeals) Bill; April 2012";  pages 134-135, paragraphs 3.78-3.83 (pdf pages 141-142)] Retrieved on 14 Dec 2016</ref>."
*“Punjab”  is the spelling adopted in the "Imperial Gazeteer of India" of 1908 which we normally take as the definitive spelling
However in regard to this railways we have adopted the spelling  '''Punjaub'''
The '''Punjaub Railway''' was formed at the instigation of the [[Scinde Railway]] to enable "the construction and working of lines in the [[Punjab]]. from [[Mooltan]] to [[Lahore]] and [[Amritsar]], and thence to [[Delhi]] - total, about 490 miles. Capital - 4,000,000''l''. Rate of Interest Guaranteed - 5 per cent on 1,500,000, the amount at present authorised to be raised." <ref>[ "Money Market and City Intelligence", ''The Times'', Wednesday, 15 June 1859, #23333, 7a.]</ref>
== Characteristics ==
Like the [[Scinde Railway]], the Punjaub Railway was built to [[broad gauge]] and was one of the original [[:Category:Guaranteed Railways|guaranteed railways]]. Early on, it merged with the [[Scinde Railway]] and the [[Indus Flotilla]] to form the [[Scinde, Punjaub & Delhi Railway]].
