A zone of Indian Railways (IR), formed on 14 April 1952 from the merger of the Bengal-Nagpur Railway and the East Indian Railway with the exception of the latter's Moradabad, Lucknow & Ellahabad Division which was transferred to the Northern Railway.
Bifurcation
The amalgamation of the two large rail systems did not prove successful and on 1 August 1955 the zone was split to form Eastern Railway, essentially that portion of the old East Indian Railway as above together with the Sealdah Division of the Bengal and Assam Railway, and South Eastern Railway, the old Bengal-Nagpu Railway with slight adjustments within Adra District.
