== Records ==
Refer to FIBIS Fact File #4: “Research sources for Indian Railways, 1845-1947” - available from the [http://www.fibis.org/store/fibis-books-and-publications/bff-0004-research-sources-for-indian-railways-1845-1947/ Fibis shop]. This Fact File contains invaluable advice on 'Researching ancestors in the UK records of Indian Railways' with particular reference to the [[India Office Records]] (IOR) held at the [[British Library]]
An on-line search of the IOR records relating to this railway
<ref>[http://searcharchives.bl.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?vid=IAMS_VU2 “British Library Archives and Manuscripts Catalogue” - Search]; Retrieved 23 Jan 2016</ref>> gives 10 references. The most important being:-
*'''L/AG/46/34 ''' “Records of the India Office relating to the North Western State Railway"
''The following appears on this IOR record''
'The North Western State Railway was created in 1886 by the amalgamation of the Scinde-Punjab-Delhi Railway (see L/AG/46/17), the Indus Valley State Railway and the Punjab Northern State Railway’
Unfortunately, there are no Indus Valley State Railway Staff agreements held at the [[British Library]] in the [[India Office Records]].
