Lot 25
A 1953 Centanary Celebration of the Indian Railways
Estimate : 8,000 - 10,000
On its first hundredth anniversary in 1953, the Railway Ministry came out with a book, the first ever history of the railways of India, titled Indian Railways — One Hundred Years: 1853—1953. This general work authored by J N Sahni is profusely illustrated with photographs and provides a fascinating overview of the growth of the railways beginning with the first proposals to set up the system, and moving on to various other themes such as locomotives and early rolling stock, signalling, electrification and goods transportation. Shri Sahni's work, although general in nature, has served as a haven of delight for well over half a century for enthusiasts who have been lucky enough to lay their hands on a copy, and contained enough detail to serve as a reference for many later works on the subject.'

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
