The Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway (MSMR) was formed in 1908 from the merger of the Madras Railway (MR) and the Southern Mahratta Railway (SMR).
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.
Records
There are no Staff agreements held at the British Library in the India Office Records.
