Changes

Given its reputation in the 1860s and 1870s for discord, shady and/or inept contractors and financial irregularities, it is surprising that the SPDR SP&DR did not pass into Government of India([[Government of India |GoI]]) ownership sooner than 31 December 1885. After its purchase, the Government GoI merged the SP&DR with the [[Southern Punjab Railway]] (SPR) to form the [[North Western Railway]](NWR).
