The Southern Mahratta Railway (SMR) was also variously called the Southern Maratha Railway and the Southern Maharastra Railway.
History
The SMR was founded in 1882 as a metre gauge railway between Hotgi and Gadag, one of the "famine lines" set up with a guarantee. In 1883, the line was extended to the Portuguese colony of Goa where it connected with the Marmagao line. From 1903 this line was leased as the West of India Portuguese Railway. In 1908, the SMR merged with the Madras Railway to form the Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway.
Records
Unfortunately, there are no SMR Staff agreements held at the British Library in the India Office Records.
