Tarikh Episode 383

Tarikh is a daily program in which we present you with incidents and stories of noteworthy persons of Indian History in Hindi. In this edition of Tarikh, Nikhil narrates the story of battle of gauges in Indian Railways history. Indian Railways today operates on 5 ft 6 in broad gauge. Most of the metre gauge and narrow gauge railways have been converted to broad gauge. Small stretches of the network that remain on meter and narrow gauges are also being converted to broad gauge. Rapid transit lines are mostly on standard gauge, although some initial lines use 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge. The first train in 1853 in India ran on a broad gauge track. Later during Lord mayo’s tenure India adopted the metre gauge. Later several princely states started adopting narrow gauge and what was called as toy gauge. In India, the initial freight railway lines were built using standard gauge. In the 1850s, the Great Indian Peninsula Railway adopted the gauge of 5 ft 6 in for the first passenger railway in India between Bori Bunder and Thane. This was then adopted as the standard for the nationwide network.
