 HISTORY OF INDIAN RAILWAY

The first train in the country had run between

Roorkee and Piran Kaliyar on December 22, 1851
and not two years later as widely known. To
solve the then irrigation problems of farmers,
large quantity of clay was required which was
available in Piran Kaliyar area, 10 km away
from Roorkee.
In 1845, along with Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy,
Hon. Jaganath Shunkerseth (known as Nana
Shankarsheth) formed the Indian Railway
Association. BACK
