The '''Southern Mahratta Railway''' (SMR) was also variously called the Southern '''Maratha''' Railway and the Southern '''Maharastra''' Railway.
== Characteristics ==
The SMR was founded in 1882 as a metre gauge railway between [[Hotgi]] and [[Gadag]], one of the "famine lines" set up with a guarantee. In 1883, the line was extended to the Portuguese colony of [[Goa]] where it connected with the [[Marmagao]] line. From 1903 this line was leased as the [[West of India Portuguese Railway]]. In 1908, the SMR merged with the [[Madras Railway]] to form the [[Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway]].
== Records ==
Unfortunately, there are no Staff agreements held at the [[British Library]] in the [[India Office Records]].
