Are there any trains run by private companies or non-IR public concerns on IR tracks and/or with IR stock?

July 19, 2019, 1:04 PM

Occasionally there are some trains run by private companies using IR stock on IR routes – these are perhaps not really ‘private’ trains but rather trains which have been leased out by IR for private runs. Most of these are heritage or tourism specials chartered by travel agencies, private individuals, or state tourist boards for various occasions. Many of these in recent years have been run with steam locos, such as Darjeeling, or in Assam. The Jodhpur Safari Club has [11/06] run a private steam-hauled heritage train on the Jodhpur-Oslan stretch (with plans to make it a regular feature on the Jodhpur-Jaisalmer section). Apart from this there are occasionally trains leased by corporations or organizations for specific advertising or publicity purposes, fundraising, etc.

Container freight trains are entirely operated by IR even though the containers themselves, and most of the rakes, are owned by CONCOR or other companies. More recently [2005] private companies and supply-chain or logistics operators have been allowed to manage freight services with private wagon rakes on IR lines.
