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.

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/>

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 [1]. 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 [2].

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 [2].

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 [2], consisting of the following:-

  • Mechanical Engineering Committee.
  • Electrical Engineers Committee
  • Civil Engineering Committee
  • Signal Engineering Committee
  • Metallurgical & Chemical Engineering Committee.

Conference Photographic Records

  • Photographs - we have detailed the delegates from Left to Right and with back row mentioned first, leaving the front row to be the last mentioned (thus corresponding to the photograph).
  • Names - delegate surmames are stated with either 'Mr' or first name(s) as initial(s). Wherever it has been possible we have given the first name(s) in full and linked to the Notable Railway Person page where available.
  • Railway Companies, Government Departments - where we have been able to identify we have used the appropriate ‎Railway System Abbreviations.
