three state railways, namely, the Madras and Southern
Mahratta Railway, the South Indian Railway Company, and
the Mysore State Railway. The South Indian Railway was
originally created in the British colonial times as Great
Southern India Railway Co founded in Britain in 1853 and
registered in 1859. Its original headquarters was
in Tiruchirappalli (Trichy) and was registered as a company
in London only in 1890. At present, after re-organization of
existing railway zones and creation of new zones undertaken
by the Indian Railways between 2002–03, Southern Railway

gauge conversion projects and creation of new lines.[2]
