Foreword by Mark Tully 

The engineers who built the Indian railways  constructed lines that climbed mountains, crossed deserts, ran the length of the Gangetic plain, linked the great centers of commerce, and provided relief for remote villagers threatened with famine. As the renowned travel writer and railway traveler Paul Theroux has rightly said, “the railway builders sewed together the entire subcontinent with a stitching of track.”  

Although the imperious Governor General of India, Lord Dalhousie, had decreed that there should only be one gauge so that India would avoid the problems Britain created by building two different gauges, eventually the Indian subcontinent was sewn together with stitches of four different sizes. This book tells the story of the network which pioneered the two smallest gauges of railways in India, known as the narrow gauges. The Dabhoi system consisted of branch lines constructed  on a gauge only two foot six wide because the traffic was never going to warrant the expense of the broad gauge, but it was firmly stitched to the mainline.
