What is the background of Indian railways?

Trains are the pride and joy of India! The first train in India went from Bombay to Thane in 1853. Trains today connect all areas of our country, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.

The country's railway system is divided into zones and divisions. Each division is responsible for the maintenance and operation of the lines, trains, and stations under its control. As the country moves toward a brighter future, our trains have gotten faster and more modern. The Vande Bharat Express is one such train. The Indian railways hopes that the Vande Bharat Express will improve train travel for millions of passengers.
