At present (August 2015) we are updating this list as a work-in-progress project. We have identified over 500 different Railways including tramways,industrial lines, rail/river ferries. These will be added over the next few months. FIBIS Fact File #4: Research sources for Indian Railways, 1845-1947, is far more comprehensive list of over 330 names and this will, in due course be revised. Ultimately those new names will be included here so check back from time to time if you do not at first find the name that you seek.

At present (December 2015) we are working on further updates to this list by adding new information and references from many different sources. The aim is to make as much information as possible available on all aspects of the railways in India from the first beginnings in the 1840's through to partition in 1947.
