Urban Railways is a bi-annual publication covering various issues relating to railways in India. (Approximate annual subscription is INR 100 / US $20 with additional charges depending on delivery method.) Transport Track is another bi-annual publication dealing with more general issues of transportation. all these publications are available from the following address:

Indian Railways Annual Statistical Statement is an extensive compilation of statistical data about IR (routes, rolling stock, financials, commercial and operational statistics, safety, efficiency, etc.). Copies can be purchased from the Director, National Rail Museum, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi 110021. Price in 2002 was Rs 150. (This was earlier available only to governmental agencies. From 2002 it has been made available for sale to the general public.)

Rail Business Focus India is a monthly publication focused on commercial and technology news related to IR. Past issues are available for download in PDF format from the web site.

Paripurna Railway Samachar (“Complete Railway News”), a Hindi fortnightly publication, is published from Kalyan and has some snippets of railway news and articles aimed at railway staff, with quite a bit of political advocacy. Production quality is sketchy.

Issues of Jane’s World Railways are often good sources of material (although not very extensive) on railways in India.

The Continental Railway Circle publishes a quarterly magazine that often has an article or information about Indian railways. In the early 1970s, A E Durrant had many articles here on Indian steam and railway operations.

The British Overseas Railways Historical Trust (BORHT) also publishes occasional articles on Indian railways (some articles of note are two on the rules in 1893 for construction of railways in India, and one on the Fatwah-Islampur line).

BORHT also publishes a quarterly journal, The British Railway Journal, a 15-20 page magazine with excellent archival B&W prints from around the world and articles on historical details of railways. Subscription is included in the membership of BORHT.

The Darjeeling Mail is a quarterly magazine from the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Society with articles, photographs, travel advice, and news. Contact: Marilyn Metz, 80 Ridge Road, London N8 9NR, England.

The Railway Gazette which later became the Railway Gazette International covered many things about Indian railways especially in the pre-Independence era. They had special issues on India between 1913-1925, and in 1929. The Railway Gazette International is still published regularly, and covers a lot of topics of interest to those in the railway industry, and occasionally carries articles dealing with India and neighbouring countries.

World Steam, is a periodical newsletter (8 issues a year) which often has news items on steam in India. Contact:

World Steam

E-mail : worldsteam@proweb.co.uk
World Steam had many excellent detailed reports on the steam situation in India from about 1979 to the mid-1980s, including lists of steam-hauled trains, shed allocations, etc. From about 1974 to 1979 there were some less-detailed but still interesting reports on India.

Modern Tramway has occasionally carried some articles on India. (See issues in 1978.)

Green over Red has also carried some articles on Indian railways (early 1980s?).

For a list of many periodicals in the past that carried much information on railways in India in British times (and some for independent India as well), please consult the guide to historical research.

Copies of the newsletters of the now-defunct Indian Railways Study Group (IRSG) are available from the BORHT. In addition to their newsletters, a comprehensive listing of references to Indian locomotive and rolling stock data and diagrams in various periodicals such as Locomotive Magazine and Railway Magazine is available in the datasheets issued along with the newsletters.
