The Southern Railway, today headquartered at Chennai, Tamil Nadu, is the earliest of the seventeen zones of the Indian railway that vitally connects different regions of this vast country. Originally, it was formed during British rule in India when the Great Southern India Railway Co. was established in Britain, spanning an impressive 1,121 miles. Unique in its revenue being derived from passengers and not freight, today the South Indian Railway has more than five million passengers travelling on its network every year. This famous account was originally published by South Indian Railway Co. Ltd in 1900. Culturally important, it is the classic guide to visiting India and travelling on this illustrious railway.
