Many Railway staff records relating to employment on railways created in India before 1947 remain in India are held , as do the records of railways built, owned or operated by the Indian Princely States. The records that survive today in the [[India Office Records]] and other collections held at the [[British Library]](and elsewhere) do so mainly because they were originally created in the UK.
== External Link Categorisation of trades and occupations by staff types ==The National Archives at Kew hold many different types of railway staff records but none relating to the railways of India. However, Appendix 2 of its Research Guide, ''Railways: Staff Records'', categorises many different railway trades and occupations by staff type and can be consulted [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=124&j=1#A2 here].
Knowing your ancestor's staff type will be useful when consulting railway staff lists and registers.
