印度铁路150年

长期以来,铁路在印度一直是一种巨大的整合力量.尤其在1947年印度独立之后,铁路使得人们从这个国家最偏远的角落走到了一起.它大大加速了这个国家的工农业经济的发展。并使得近代商业,朝圣和旅游业成为可能。

印度铁路的历史开始于1853年4月16日.那时,第一列蒸汽机车从 Boribunder (孟买) 开到 Thane,行程仅仅是34公里.从那以后,印度铁路已经得到了很大的发展,现在,它已经拥有7,000个车站,遍布全国的铁路网总长达到了63,000 km。 它已成为当今世界上最大的组织之一,雇员达到160万人。在印度,铁路是旅客与货物的主要运输方式。 每天大约有7500列旅客列车在这个国家的不同的地区运行,运送的旅客超过1100万人.

印度铁路是在多轨标准下运行的,(宽规,窄轨和米制轨)。铁路网被划分成为九个区。 七个新的地区和九个新的部门正在进一步建立中。

在150年之后,这第一条34KM的铁路给了人们一种甜密的回忆.2003年,为了纪念印度铁路运行150周年,印度邮政发行了纪念邮票和小型张(见图)。这些邮票显示了1853年时印度的景貌,4月16日,第一列火车开始了它的第一次开往Thane的新旅程.
