*[[:Category:State Railways|State Railways]] were those either built and run directly by the GOI, or those where the GOI exercised its right to assume ownership (which it did gradually with all the original guaranteed railways from 1879 until 1907), or those whose promoters chose to surrender the workings to the GOI (and, in the cse case of the guaranteed companies, received their capital back). From 1907, the word ''State'' was usually dropped from the name of railways in GOI ownership.
