== History ==
Following the merger of the [[Irrawaddy Valley State Railway]], the [[Sittang Valley State Railway]] and the [[Mu Valley State Railway]] to form BR, construction continued on various projects until 1924 when the extent of line exceeded 1800 miles. From 1906, BR was managed by Walter Home who repeated his previous success at the helm of the [[Jodhpur -Bikanir Railway]], another metre gauge line. (1)
In 1928, BR was dissolved and the railways in Burma were brought once again under direct government control, being renamed '''Burma Railways'''. In 1937, Burma was split from India and political control passed to the newly-formed ''Burma Office''.
The following records are held at the [[British Library]] in the [[India Office Records]] (but not indexed in Z/L/AG/46).
*'''L/AG/46/6/17-18 ''' : List of emplyees (1898-1921).*'''L/F/10/250 ''' : Half-yearly Staff lists (1922-1928).
