The allotted task for the young Wynne was stupendous by all records. By then Wynne was in early thirties and had been on job for only thirteen years. B&NWR BNR was not a fore-runner on the Indian Railway scene. It was a generation younger than the leaders viz., the EIR and the GIPR Railways. Though a latecomer, it captured the lost ground fast and in a couple of years, it was a major railway system competing with the premiers. *1905 He remained Agent of B&NWR BNR until 1905 save for a long furlough from June 1902 to November 1903 when he was engaged in China as in charge of an Engineering and Mining Company.
