This...

is an attempt to list out the trains
introduced by successive Railway Ministers in
India. Much of the information is from
the railway budgets of each year. There
are a vast number of trains that run in
India, and many are cancelled, re-
introduced, renamed, rescheduled or re-
routed all the time, so this is only the
barest attempt at listing some of the
better-known trains and their origins.
