IR started off with a bang just after independence and surged for some time riding the wave of euphoria of the initial days before it slumped around the time of the war with China. It regained some momentum after that but then slowly started going downhill around the end of the s before hitting rock-bottom during the mid and later s following political and economic uncertainties.
Expansion, development and new initiatives dried out and progress was all but absent. The graph started rising slowly after thanks to computerization and introduction of new locomotives and picked up real speed after the liberalization of Indian Railways hit its best time ever during the first decade of the new Millennium but crashed back to misery soon after along with the rest of the country thanks to politics and misgovernance.

But most of these developments happened before In the aftermath of the Indo-China war the mood of the nation became somber and socialist-nationalization caught hold, squeezing the Railways out of its ambitious expansion and modernization plans.
All those experiments culminated in the introduction of the first Rajdhani Express which ran on March 3, between Howrah and New Delhi. By this time, around route kilometers were electrified. At present, there are 17 Indian railway zones and a total of 69 divisions are divided under them. Indian railway stations are being given the size of larger campuses and apart from having common facilities like retiring rooms and restaurants, they are now included in large office areas.

Back then, every train had a luxury saloon for the royals of the land and British rulers. The trains never belonged to any of the kings of India. However, the royal saloons were dedicated to the blue bloods of the land. The locals were never allowed to board in this luxury saloon. It ran between Calcutta and Bombay. Later, 7 days long itinerary and ten days long itineraries were also provided. Many regular trains also started to have a few tourist saloons in them, later.
After Independence, these luxury saloons were left to rust as the kingdom rule fell in the country. Today, the Palace on Wheels provide a much clarified and tuned itinerary in just eight days and seven nights. Check out the link to book Palace On Wheels Tickets.
