Shashtriji is credited to providing more facilities to travelers in third class compartments. He reduced the vast disparity between the first class and third class in the Railways. ICF Chennai was installed by him. We had "Make In India" 60 years back! Shastriji RESIGNED twice (first resignation was not accepted by Pandit Nehru) on MORAL ground for two accidents each of which killed more than 100 people.

Mr Madhu Dandavate, credited with making the Konkan Railway a reality. He is said to be the first RM who introduced the computerisation of railway reservations.He initiated improvements in second-class railway travel for passengers by replacing the wooden berths with berths consisting of two inches foam. Replacement of wooden seats in second class with foamed seats. These things do matter.

Nitish Kumar, initiator of online booking via IRCTC. Brought concept of satellite terminal, announced ANVT to decongest Delhi, brought up TATKAL scheme, opened up a record number of railway ticket booking counters. Some officials say that the financial turnaround during Lalu Yadav years was possible only due to the substantial work in improvement of railway lines and time-keeping of passenger trains that was done during Nitish Kumar regime.
I have given you 3 strong contenders against Suresh Prabhu. None of his work has bore any fruit except for twitter redressal system. It will be wrong to call him best RM so far. And no one knows future.

Coming to resignation,
Apparently, resignation won't solve any problem. But I have not heard Mr Prabhu taking any responsibility as the head of ministry. Yaha to bas twitter pe galat data dalkar, khud ka image acha kiya ja raha hai. congestion ka rona ro rahe hai, lekin khud ki ministry k MoSR trains badhaye jaa rahe hai. This is shameful.
And ye koi excuse nahi hai, ki "kosis kar rahe hai"!
for gods sake, log mar rahe hai. We should have some empathy. Ministry has to set its priorities straight.
And as you have replied, lo ek aur accident. Kaifiyaat express derailed.
