At present (February 2016) 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.

We have extended the number of Railways identified and now include Tramways, Monorails, Industrial lines, Rail/River ferries, Railway Constructions and Railway Equipment Manufacturers. The current number of pages is 590 and this will be further extended.

FIBIS Fact File #4: Research sources for Indian Railways, 1845-1947, is a comprehensive listing of over 330 names and this will, in due course, be revised. It does contain invaluable advice on tracing 'Researching ancestors in the UK records of Indian Railways' with particular reference to the Indian Office Records (IOR) held at the British Library. Ultimately all known IOR references will be included on the appropriate Railway page; meanwhile please consult this Fact File - available from the Fibis shop

If you have a specific query regarding Railways (or can contribute with new information) please e-mail the Fibis Membership Secretary asking your question to be forwarded to Michael Pearce PEA-2292 who is co-ordinating this project.
