What are the systems of colour-light signalling used by IR?

14-07-2019

There are three systems of colour-light signalling in use. (In IR terminology, the term Multiple-Aspect Colour-Light signalling includes both 3- and 4-aspect signalling, and 2-aspect signalling is usually treated as a variant of 2-aspect semaphore signalling.

What’s the difference between Vadodara and Baroda? And other stations that have changed names.

July 19, 2019

Many towns have changed names over the years. In many cases the change in the spelling of a place stems from a desire for the name to more closely reflect the pronunciation of the name in the local language. Older spellings were generally assigned in the Roman script by the British and in some cases did not correspond closely to the spoken version

Why are there so many express and long-distance trains to or from obscure locations like Manduadih, Habibganj, etc.?

July 19, 2019

Often, the terminus for long-distance trains into a city or town is not the railway station that is the "main" station for that town, but rather some outlying or suburban station that can better handle the long-distance traffic.
