The South Eastern Railway
had its beginning 100 years ago when its prdecessor, the Bengal-Railway
Co., a company formed in London, signed a contract with the Secretary of
State in Council in India to take over the meterguage Nandgaon Nagpur
line on 9th March, 1887. Subsequently, the Kanti-Umaria line, now in
the then Central Province, was taken over by this Railway and the
Nagpur-Chattisgarh Railway converted to broadguage. In the next ten
years, this railway came upto Calcutta which was then declared as its
headquarters and also upto the coalfields of Bengal -Bihar with a line
connecting Asansol in the then East India Railway. In the next ten
years, the east coast section to Madras was linked alongwith a
connection to Puri, a most popular sea rsort for the people of the
eastern sctor.
The Bengal-Nagpur Railway was brought under dirct State management on
October 1, 1944 on the expiry of all contracts between the companises
and the Government. After Independence, the Bengal-Nagpur Railway was
merged with the then East Indian Railway and one zonal railway unit was
founded with headquarters at Calcutta. This was found to be unwieldy and
on 17th June, 1955, the then Railway Minister, Sri Lal Bahdur Shastri
announced the separation of old East Indian Railway and Bengal-Nagpur
Railway as two seperate zones with headquarters of both in Calcutta. The
old Bengal-Nagpur Railway sections constituted the South Eastern
Railway.
SER connects Calcutta with Bombay and Madras. This Railway extends upto
Nagpur on the Bombay route, a distance of 1132 kms, and Waltair on the
east section to Madras, a distance of 879 kms.
This Railway traverses six States, viz., West Bengal, Bihar, Orissa,
Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, which are rich in
natural resources, cultural heritage and folklore. During the last two
decades, this Railwayhas grown into a gigantic railway system and is
referred to from time to time as 'blue chip of Indian Railways', 'Core
railway for core sector', 'Bread winner of Indian Railways', etc.
It is significant that this Railway, with only 10% of the total freight
loaded on the Indian Railways. Last year, out of 267 million tonnes
loaded and moved on the Indian Railways, South Eastern Railway's share
was 89 million tonnes. Thus a high volume of traffic is generated from
the stel plants located on this railway, viz., Tatanagar, Rourkela,
Bhilai, Bokaro and Burnpur. Even for Durgapur, the raw materials like
Limestone are loaded and moved on this Railways. The Coalfields in West
Bengal, Bihar, Talcher, Id Valley, Central India, Pench VAley, the ports
of HAldie, Vizag, Paradip, thermal power stations, cement factories,
Paper Mills etc. are all ocated on this Railway route.
The last 31 years have been momentous years for this Railway. Starting
from a modest beginning in 1955 with an originating revenue earning
freight traffic of 19.5 million tonnes, this Railway has loaded 85
million tonnes in 1984-85. The S.E. Railway excepts a spurt infreight
loading during the Seventh Paln.
The S.E. Railwaymen have distinguished themselves in sports for the last
many years and the BNR Club today is well known in sports circles.
The Department of Posts is happy to issue a set of 4 stamps on the
centenary of the South Eastern Railway. |
