The Indian Railways are often considered to be the country’s most important organisation. In every corner of the country, people are affected by it. That’s why zones and divisions have been established in order to ensure that the organisation runs smoothly and efficiently. In each partition, there is an agreed-upon settlement. India’s railway system now consists of 18 railway zones and 70 divisions. Everyone below the Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) reports directly to the Railway Zone General Manager (RZGM) (GM).
The Railway Reform Committee suggested the creation of four additional zones in 1984 as a means of adjusting to the growth of freight traffic across the country and justifying its handling of traffic. In the 1990s, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was considering creating new zones to focus on operational and management efficiency. Legislative concerns and specialised productivity considerations appear to have influenced the most recent suggestions for additional zones.
There are around 73 sub-divisional zones in the Indian Railways, which are divided into several zones. The Indian Railways’ North Zone is the country’s most extensive.
East Central Railway
The Indian Railways had nine Zones prior to 1996 to 1997. It was decided on June 16, 1996, by the Ministry of Railways to create six new zones by rearranging the existing zones. These six new zones include the East Central Railway, which is based in Hajipur, Bihar, and has its headquarters there. Vaishali’s administrative centre, Hajipur, is located around 25 kilometres by road and 200 kilometres by rail from Patna (Capital of Bihar). On September 8, 1996, the East Central Railway was launched, and an Officer on Special Duty for the General Manager job was appointed. In all, the Ward of E. C. Railway consists of the N. E. Railway and the Eastern Railway divisions of Sonepur and Samastipur. The Indian Railways’ East Central Railway is a one-of-a-kind rail network. The East Central Railway’s headquarters are located in Hajipur, Bihar. The distance of the central railway command from Patna is 25 kilometres. A total of five central divisional commands make up the geological ward of this zone, comprising principal divisions of both the Eastern and North Eastern Railways such Sonepur, Mughal Sarai, Dhanbad, Samastipur, and Danapur. It was implemented on September 8, 1996, and it has had a significant impact on the Indian Railways since then. It was only when the Indian Railways were revamped that an additional one of those six zones was established. Hajipur can be reached from Patna in around 200 km by train and 25 km by road. East Central Railway was begun on September 8, 1996. ECR had planned to build a temporary Zonal Office Building with a 3100-square-foot expansion area. The Sonpur and Samastipur Division workouts of the East Central Railway were completed before the line was operational.

East Coast Railway
As far back as 1996 to 1997, there were a total of nine Indian Railways Zones. It was decided on June 16, 1996, by the Ministry of Railways to create six new zones by revamping the existing zones. The East Central Railway, which is based in Hajipur, Bihar, is one of the six new zones that have been established. Nearly 25 miles by road and 200 miles by train from Patna, Hajipur is the administrative centre of the Vaishali region (Capital of Bihar). East Central Railway was launched on September 8, 1996, and a Special Duty Officer for the General Manager role was appointed. Sonepur and Samastipur divisions of N. E. Railway and Danapur, Dhanbad, and Mughalsarai divisions of Eastern Railway make up the E. C. Railway ward separately. India’s East Central Railway is one of the country’s most distinctive rail systems. Bihar’s Hajipur is the East Central Railway’s headquarters. Patna is 25 kilometres from the central railway headquarters. This zone’s geological ward includes five central divisional commands, including Eastern Railway and North Eastern Railway primary divisions like Sonepur, Dhanbad, Samastipur, Danapur and Mughal Sarai. These divisions are all located in the zone. It was launched on September 8, 1996, and it has had a significant impact on the Indian railway’s current state. The Indian Railways’ upgrading necessitated the creation of one of the six zones. Patna is around 200 kilometres away via train, while Hajipur is about 25 kilometres away by road. On September 8th, 1996, East Central Railway officially opened its doors for business. It was projected that ECR will build a temporary Zonal Office Building that would cover an area of 3100 square metres. Starting at Sonpur and Samastipur Division, East Central Railway completed the exercises.

Central Railway
In November 1951, the former GIP Railway, the Wardha Coal State Railway, the Scindia State Railway, and the Dholpur Railways were merged to become Central Railways. India’s major traveller transportation network, it constantly provides great service to more than a million people. One of the country’s largest command centres is located at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CSTM) in Mumbai. Mumbai Suburban Train System goes from Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus to Kalyan Station, and from here it takes two different routes – one to Khopoli and the other to Kasara. More than a million people use the Mumbai Suburban’s 1618 trains every day, which connect 77 stops and transport millions of people. On top of that, the Pune-Lonavala section of this zone operates 44 rural trains, which is essential for the division.
The Neral-Matheran line in the Western Ghats on the Pune-Mumbai basic path is very well-known in this area. Central Railways also handles the Gitanjali Express, Pushpak Express, Punjab Mail, Hussain Sagar Express, and Deccan Queen.
Conclusion
The Central Railways’ freight business is a major source of revenue for the Indian Railways. This firm transports items such as sugar, onion, coal, concrete, oil-based goods, compartments, and native manures as well as imported coal.
