Delhi Railway appears to be a description of the railway, rather than a specific railway.

Further research is required by examination of records at IOR listed below.

In 1870, the Scinde Railway Company and Indus Flotilla Company were amalgamated with the Punjab Railway and renamed as the Sind, Punjab and Delhi Railway Company.
