System Abrev. CAR replacing CR, SIR added
}}
The '''Carnatic Railway''' (CRCAR) was formed in 1870 to acquire the lines of the [[Indian Tramway]] Company which was in liquidation. The CR was able to secure a 5% guarantee from the Government of India.
== History ==
In 1872, the Carnatic Railway merged with the [[Great Southern of India Railway]]. In 1874, the merged companies were renamed the [[South Indian Railway]](SIR).
== Records ==
Unfortunately, there are no CR CAR staff records held in the [[India Office Records]] at the [[British Library]].
