1960 Nirdosh Publications Railroad Map of India

This is a c. 1960 railroad map of India. Depicting India's railroad network in detail, its eight different railways are differentiated by color and then further divided by track gauge. The routes of the Eastern Railway, Western Railway, Southern Railway, and Southeastern Railway are labeled as well. Cities and towns are labeled along every line and a table providing distances between major cities in kilometers occupies the lower right. A key situated in the lower left explains notations used to differentiate railways and broad-, meter-, and narrow-gauge lines. A decorative title cartouche appears in the upper right bordered by vignettes of historical train engines.
