The '''Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway''' (MSMR) was formed in 1908 from the merger of the [[Madras Railway]] (MR) and the [[Southern Mahratta Railway]]. Owned by the Government of India (GoISMR), the running of the railway was handed back to the company of the same name.
== History ==
Having taken the MR into state ownership and created the new system, the Government of India (GoI) immediately passed the working of the MSMR to a private company of the same name. The GoI took over direct control of the MSMR on 1 April 1944. On 14 April 1951, the MSMR, together with the [[South Indian Railway]] and the [[Mysore State Railway]], became the '''Southern Railway''' of Indian Railways.
There are no Staff agreements held at the [[British Library]] in the [[India Office Records]].
