Officially notified as a new railway zone on 14 April 1952, its origin goes back to 3 March 1859.
On 14 April 1952, the Northern Railway zone was created by merging [[Jodhpur State Railway|Jodhpur Railway]], [[Bikaner State Railway|Bikaner Railway]], [[Eastern Punjab Railway]] and three divisions of the [[East Indian Railway Company|East Indian Railway]] north-west of [[Mughalsarai]] ([[Uttar Pradesh]]).
On 3 March 1859, [[Allahabad]]–[[Kanpur]], the first passenger railway line in North India was opened, which falls under Northern Railway zone.<ref name="Indian Railways">{{cite web|author=Asiatradehub.com.com|title=India – Infrastructure Railways|url=http://www.asiatradehub.com/India/railways.asp|access-date=4 December 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081016092740/http://www.asiatradehub.com/India/railways.asp|archive-date=16 October 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref>
In 1864, a [[broad-gauge]] track from [[Calcutta]] to [[Delhi]] was laid.<ref name=del1/>
In 1864, the railway line between [[Delhi Junction railway station|Old Delhi]] and [[Meerut City railway station]] was constructed. [[Meerut Cantt railway station]] was established by British India government around 1865 after the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857|sepoy mutiny]] of 1857.{{citation needed|date=May 2020}}

In 1872, [[Delhi Sarai Rohilla railway station]] was established when the [[metre-gauge railway]] line from Delhi to [[Jaipur]] and [[Ajmer]] was being laid. It was a small station just outside Delhi as Delhi was confined to walled city then. All the metre-gauge trains starting from (and terminating at) Delhi to [[Rewari]], Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat passed through this station. The track from Delhi to Sarai Rohilla was double. The single track from Sarai Rohilla to Rewari was doubled up to Rewari, from where single tracks diverged in five directions.
In 1876, [[metre-gauge]] track from Delhi to [[Rewari railway junction|Rewari]] and further to Ajmer was laid in 1873 by [[Rajputana State Railway]].<ref name=del1/>

On 9 March 1885, the first train ran from [[Jodhpur Junction railway station]] to Luni. The [[New Jodhpur Railway]] was later combined with [[Bikaner Railway]] to form [[Jodhpur–Bikaner Railway]] in 1889. A Railway line was completed between Jodhpur and Bikaner in 1891. Later in 1900, it combined with Jodhpur–Hyderabad Railway (some part of this railway is in Pakistan) leading to connection with Hyderabad of Sindh Province. Later in 1924 Jodhpur and Bikaner Railways worked as independent Railways. After Independence, a part of Jodhpur Railway went to West Pakistan.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-history2.html | title = IR History: Part - 2 (1870–1900) | publisher = IRFCA | access-date = 2014-02-01 | archive-date = 26 July 2016 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160726192451/http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-history2.html | url-status = dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Jodhpur-Bikaner_Railway | title = Jodhpur bikaner railway | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140202124719/http://www.wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Jodhpur-Bikaner_Railway | archive-date = 2 February 2014 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://trainsrunningstatus.net/station/jodhpur-jn-railway-station | title = Jodhpur jn Railway Station | access-date = 12 December 2017 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180820235018/https://trainsrunningstatus.net/station/jodhpur-jn-railway-station | archive-date = 20 August 2018 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

In 1926, [[New Delhi railway station]] opened ahead of the inauguration of the New Delhi as city in 1931. [[Agra Cantonment railway station|Agra]]–Delhi railway track cut through the site earmarked for the hexagonal War Memorial (now called [[India Gate]]) and Kingsway (now called [[Rajpath]]). [[East Indian Railway Company]] shifted the line along the [[Yamuna river]] and opened the new track in 1924. Before the new imperial capital New Delhi was established after 1911, the [[Delhi Junction railway station|Old Delhi railway station]] served the entire city and the [[Agra]]–Delhi railway line cut through what is today called ''[[Lutyens' Delhi]]'' and the site earmarked for the hexagonal All-India War Memorial (now ''[[India Gate]]'') and Kingsway (now ''[[Rajpath]]''). The railway line was shifted along Yamuna river and opened in 1924 to make way for the new capital. Minto (now ''Shivaji'') and Hardinge (now ''Tilak'') rail bridges came up for this realigned line. The [[East Indian Railway Company]], that overlooked railways in the region, sanctioned the construction of a single story building and a single platform between [[Gates of Delhi#Gates in the seventh city|Ajmeri Gate]] and [[Paharganj]] in 1926. This was later known as New Delhi Railway station. The government's plans to have the new station built inside the Central Park of [[Connaught Place, New Delhi|Connaught Place]] was rejected by the Railways as it found the idea impractical.<ref name="htcresent">{{cite news|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/CP-s-blueprint-Bath-s-Crescent/Article1-659739.aspx|title=CP's blueprint: Bath's Crescent|date=8 February 2011|work=Hindustan Times|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103040022/http://www.hindustantimes.com/CP-s-blueprint-Bath-s-Crescent/Article1-659739.aspx|archive-date=3 January 2013}}</ref> In 1927–28, New Delhi Capital Works project involving construction of {{convert|4.79|mi|km}} of new lines was completed.

The long-distance trains from Delhi used to ply from three stations namely {{stnlnk|Delhi Junction}} (Old Delhi), {{stnlnk|New Delhi}} and [[Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station]]s. These stations lacked the infrastructure facilities to handle such high passenger rush. Also, Delhi is the connecting station for the cities in the Northern states [[Punjab (India)|Punjab]], [[Haryana]], [[Himachal Pradesh]], [[Uttarakhand]] and [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. With increasing passenger pressure at the existing stations, the requirement of additional major passenger terminals was identified by the Northern Railways. The East-bound trains from Delhi to the states of [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Bihar]], [[Orissa, India|Orissa]], [[Jharkhand]] [[West Bengal]] and other [[North East India|North-eastern states]] had to cross the bridge over [[River Yamuna]] as all the three stations are located on the other side of the river. Thus, the area of Anand Vihar was selected in the trans-Yamuna region to construct a mega-railway terminal.<ref name="Station3">{{cite web|work=The Hindu|title=Anand Vihar railway terminal to open this month|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/article61417.ece|date=7 December 2009|access-date=2009-12-08}}</ref>

==Divisions==
The Zonal Headquarters Office of Northern Railways is at [[Baroda House]], [[New Delhi]], and five divisional headquarters are located at:
* [[Ambala railway division]] at [[Ambala]] ([[Haryana]]),
* [[Delhi railway division]] at [[Delhi]],
* [[Firozpur railway division]] at [[Firozpur]] ([[Punjab, India|Punjab]]),
* [[Lucknow NR railway division]] at [[Lucknow]] ([[Uttar Pradesh]]) and
* [[Moradabad railway division]] at [[Moradabad]] ([[Western Uttar Pradesh]]).
The first passenger railway line in [[North India]] opened from [[Railways in Kanpur|Allahabad to Kanpur]] on 3 March 1859. This was followed in 1889, by the Delhi–Panipat–Ambala–[[Kalka]] line. Northern Railways previously consisted of eight divisional zones: [[Allahabad]], [[Bikaner]], [[Jodhpur]], [[Delhi]], [[Moradabad]], [[Ferozpur]], [[Ambala]], and [[Lucknow]], spanning most of North India. With the re-organisation of zones by the Indian Railways, Northern Railway zone came to its present form on 14 April 1952 and it now consists of five divisional zones.

On 19 February 1986, Northern Railways was the first zone to introduce the computerized passenger reservation system and was the first zone to do so. To facilitate the Unreserved travellers to also plan their journey ahead, Northern Railway introduced the Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) whereby the unreserved rail passenger can purchase an unreserved ticket three days in advance from the current booking counters.
The first diesel and electric locomotive simulators in India at the [[Diesel Loco Shed, Tughlakabad|Tughlakabad]] and [[Electric Loco Shed, Kanpur|Kanpur]] locomotive sheds were introduced by Northern Railways. These help upgrading the skills of the working and new drivers, providing them training for high-speed train operation. All workshops, diesel sheds and air brake freight departments are [[ISO 9000]] certified. Diesel shed, Tughlaqabad has the distinction of being the first diesel shed to get [[ISO 14000]] certification on the Indian Railway.
There are eight workshops operated by Northern Railways

== Background ==
Northern Railways implemented the [[route relay interlocking]] (RRI) system at [[New Delhi railway station]] which is a modern signaling system for enhancing efficiency and safety in the operations. This RRI system at New Delhi is one of the world's largest route relay interlocking system certified by the Guinness Book of Records. Northern Railway is equipped with 40 RRI systems including the system at Delhi Main.
[[Delhi Suburban Railway]] services is a commuter rail service operated by Northern Railway. It covers the city state of Delhi, along with the adjoining districts of [[Faridabad]], Ghaziabad and other adjoining places in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. These services are mostly run using [[Electric multiple unit|EMU]] and MEMU rakes. In 2009 Ladies Special trains were introduced between New Delhi and [[Palwal]]. Two more ladies special trains will be connecting from the city to Ghaziabad and [[Panipat]].
Starting with a part of [[Firozpur railway division|Firozpur division]] of the Northern Railway zone, the line has been under construction since 1983; the Jammu–Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Railway Link (JUSBRL) of the [[Jammu–Baramulla line]] is under construction in perhaps the most difficult terrain on the Indian subcontinent. The Northern Railway reached another landmark achievement by extending rail services in the Kashmir Valley on 28 October 2009 by commencing rail services between [[Anantnag]] and [[Qazigund]] of the Qazigund-Baramula rail project.<ref name="Qazigund-Baramula rail project">{{cite web|author=Sify.com|title=Tracking Jammu and Kashmir's rail history|website=[[Sify]] |url=http://sify.com/news/Tracking-Jammu-and-Kashmir-39-s-rail-history-news-jk2sOdacaeg.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131030012610/http://www.sify.com/news/Tracking-Jammu-and-Kashmir-39-s-rail-history-news-jk2sOdacaeg.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-10-30}}</ref> [[Pir Panjal Railway Tunnel]], the 10.96 km long railway tunnel, passes through the [[Pir Panjal Range]] of middle [[Himalayas]] in [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]].

Officially notified as a new railway zone on 14 April 1952, its origin goes back to 3 March 1859.
On 14 April 1952, the Northern Railway zone was created by merging [[Jodhpur State Railway|Jodhpur Railway]], [[Bikaner State Railway|Bikaner Railway]], [[Eastern Punjab Railway]] and three divisions of the [[East Indian Railway Company|East Indian Railway]] north-west of [[Mughalsarai]] ([[Uttar Pradesh]]).
On 3 March 1859, [[Allahabad]]–[[Kanpur]], the first passenger railway line in North India was opened, which falls under Northern Railway zone.<ref name="Indian Railways">{{cite web|author=Asiatradehub.com.com|title=India – Infrastructure Railways|url=http://www.asiatradehub.com/India/railways.asp|access-date=4 December 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081016092740/http://www.asiatradehub.com/India/railways.asp|archive-date=16 October 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref>
In 1864, a [[broad-gauge]] track from [[Calcutta]] to [[Delhi]] was laid.<ref name=del1/>
In 1864, the railway line between [[Delhi Junction railway station|Old Delhi]] and [[Meerut City railway station]] was constructed. [[Meerut Cantt railway station]] was established by British India government around 1865 after the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857|sepoy mutiny]] of 1857.{{citation needed|date=May 2020}}

In 1872, [[Delhi Sarai Rohilla railway station]] was established when the [[metre-gauge railway]] line from Delhi to [[Jaipur]] and [[Ajmer]] was being laid. It was a small station just outside Delhi as Delhi was confined to walled city then. All the metre-gauge trains starting from (and terminating at) Delhi to [[Rewari]], Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat passed through this station. The track from Delhi to Sarai Rohilla was double. The single track from Sarai Rohilla to Rewari was doubled up to Rewari, from where single tracks diverged in five directions.
In 1876, [[metre-gauge]] track from Delhi to [[Rewari railway junction|Rewari]] and further to Ajmer was laid in 1873 by [[Rajputana State Railway]].<ref name=del1/>

On 9 March 1885, the first train ran from [[Jodhpur Junction railway station]] to Luni. The [[New Jodhpur Railway]] was later combined with [[Bikaner Railway]] to form [[Jodhpur–Bikaner Railway]] in 1889. A Railway line was completed between Jodhpur and Bikaner in 1891. Later in 1900, it combined with Jodhpur–Hyderabad Railway (some part of this railway is in Pakistan) leading to connection with Hyderabad of Sindh Province. Later in 1924 Jodhpur and Bikaner Railways worked as independent Railways. After Independence, a part of Jodhpur Railway went to West Pakistan.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-history2.html | title = IR History: Part - 2 (1870–1900) | publisher = IRFCA | access-date = 2014-02-01 | archive-date = 26 July 2016 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160726192451/http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-history2.html | url-status = dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Jodhpur-Bikaner_Railway | title = Jodhpur bikaner railway | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140202124719/http://www.wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Jodhpur-Bikaner_Railway | archive-date = 2 February 2014 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://trainsrunningstatus.net/station/jodhpur-jn-railway-station | title = Jodhpur jn Railway Station | access-date = 12 December 2017 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180820235018/https://trainsrunningstatus.net/station/jodhpur-jn-railway-station | archive-date = 20 August 2018 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

In 1926, [[New Delhi railway station]] opened ahead of the inauguration of the New Delhi as city in 1931. [[Agra Cantonment railway station|Agra]]–Delhi railway track cut through the site earmarked for the hexagonal War Memorial (now called [[India Gate]]) and Kingsway (now called [[Rajpath]]). [[East Indian Railway Company]] shifted the line along the [[Yamuna river]] and opened the new track in 1924. Before the new imperial capital New Delhi was established after 1911, the [[Delhi Junction railway station|Old Delhi railway station]] served the entire city and the [[Agra]]–Delhi railway line cut through what is today called ''[[Lutyens' Delhi]]'' and the site earmarked for the hexagonal All-India War Memorial (now ''[[India Gate]]'') and Kingsway (now ''[[Rajpath]]''). The railway line was shifted along Yamuna river and opened in 1924 to make way for the new capital. Minto (now ''Shivaji'') and Hardinge (now ''Tilak'') rail bridges came up for this realigned line. The [[East Indian Railway Company]], that overlooked railways in the region, sanctioned the construction of a single story building and a single platform between [[Gates of Delhi#Gates in the seventh city|Ajmeri Gate]] and [[Paharganj]] in 1926. This was later known as New Delhi Railway station. The government's plans to have the new station built inside the Central Park of [[Connaught Place, New Delhi|Connaught Place]] was rejected by the Railways as it found the idea impractical.<ref name="htcresent">{{cite news|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/CP-s-blueprint-Bath-s-Crescent/Article1-659739.aspx|title=CP's blueprint: Bath's Crescent|date=8 February 2011|work=Hindustan Times|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103040022/http://www.hindustantimes.com/CP-s-blueprint-Bath-s-Crescent/Article1-659739.aspx|archive-date=3 January 2013}}</ref> In 1927–28, New Delhi Capital Works project involving construction of {{convert|4.79|mi|km}} of new lines was completed.

The long-distance trains from Delhi used to ply from three stations namely {{stnlnk|Delhi Junction}} (Old Delhi), {{stnlnk|New Delhi}} and [[Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station]]s. These stations lacked the infrastructure facilities to handle such high passenger rush. Also, Delhi is the connecting station for the cities in the Northern states [[Punjab (India)|Punjab]], [[Haryana]], [[Himachal Pradesh]], [[Uttarakhand]] and [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. With increasing passenger pressure at the existing stations, the requirement of additional major passenger terminals was identified by the Northern Railways. The East-bound trains from Delhi to the states of [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Bihar]], [[Orissa, India|Orissa]], [[Jharkhand]] [[West Bengal]] and other [[North East India|North-eastern states]] had to cross the bridge over [[River Yamuna]] as all the three stations are located on the other side of the river.

==Divisions==
The Zonal Headquarters Office of Northern Railways is at [[Baroda House]], [[New Delhi]], and five divisional headquarters are located at:
* [[Ambala railway division]] at [[Ambala]] ([[Haryana]]),
* [[Delhi railway division]] at [[Delhi]],
* [[Firozpur railway division]] at [[Firozpur]] ([[Punjab, India|Punjab]]),
* [[Lucknow NR railway division]] at [[Lucknow]] ([[Uttar Pradesh]]) and
* [[Moradabad railway division]] at [[Moradabad]] ([[Western Uttar Pradesh]]).
The first passenger railway line in [[North India]] opened from [[Railways in Kanpur|Allahabad to Kanpur]] on 3 March 1859. This was followed in 1889, by the Delhi–Panipat–Ambala–[[Kalka]] line. Northern Railways previously consisted of eight divisional zones: [[Allahabad]], [[Bikaner]], [[Jodhpur]], [[Delhi]], [[Moradabad]], [[Ferozpur]], [[Ambala]], and [[Lucknow]], spanning most of North India. With the re-organisation of zones by the Indian Railways, Northern Railway zone came to its present form on 14 April 1952 and it now consists of five divisional zones.

On 19 February 1986, Northern Railways was the first zone to introduce the computerized passenger reservation system and was the first zone to do so. To facilitate the Unreserved travellers to also plan their journey ahead, Northern Railway introduced the Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) whereby the unreserved rail passenger can purchase an unreserved ticket three days in advance from the current booking counters.
The first diesel and electric locomotive simulators in India at the [[Diesel Loco Shed, Tughlakabad|Tughlakabad]] and [[Electric Loco Shed, Kanpur|Kanpur]] locomotive sheds were introduced by Northern Railways. These help upgrading the skills of the working and new drivers, providing them training for high-speed train operation. All workshops, diesel sheds and air brake freight departments are [[ISO 9000]] certified. Diesel shed, Tughlaqabad has the distinction of being the first diesel shed to get [[ISO 14000]] certification on the Indian Railway.
There are eight workshops operated by Northern Railways

== Background ==
Northern Railways implemented the [[route relay interlocking]] (RRI) system at [[New Delhi railway station]] which is a modern signaling system for enhancing efficiency and safety in the operations. This RRI system at New Delhi is one of the world's largest route relay interlocking system certified by the Guinness Book of Records. Northern Railway is equipped with 40 RRI systems including the system at Delhi Main.
[[Delhi Suburban Railway]] services is a commuter rail service operated by Northern Railway. It covers the city state of Delhi, along with the adjoining districts of [[Faridabad]], Ghaziabad and other adjoining places in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. These services are mostly run using [[Electric multiple unit|EMU]] and MEMU rakes. In 2009 Ladies Special trains were introduced between New Delhi and [[Palwal]]. Two more ladies special trains will be connecting from the city to Ghaziabad and [[Panipat]].
Starting with a part of [[Firozpur railway division|Firozpur division]] of the Northern Railway zone, the line has been under construction since 1983; the Jammu–Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Railway Link (JUSBRL) of the [[Jammu–Baramulla line]] is under construction in perhaps the most difficult terrain on the Indian subcontinent. The Northern Railway reached another landmark achievement by extending rail services in the Kashmir Valley on 28 October 2009 by commencing rail services between [[Anantnag]] and [[Qazigund]] of the Qazigund-Baramula rail project.<ref name="Qazigund-Baramula rail project">{{cite web|author=Sify.com|title=Tracking Jammu and Kashmir's rail history|website=[[Sify]] |url=http://sify.com/news/Tracking-Jammu-and-Kashmir-39-s-rail-history-news-jk2sOdacaeg.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131030012610/http://www.sify.com/news/Tracking-Jammu-and-Kashmir-39-s-rail-history-news-jk2sOdacaeg.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-10-30}}</ref> [[Pir Panjal Railway Tunnel]], the 10.96 km long railway tunnel, passes through the [[Pir Panjal Range]] of middle [[Himalayas]] in [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]].

<p>On 19 February 1986, Northern Railways was the first zone to introduce the computerized passenger reservation system and was the first zone to do so. To facilitate the Unreserved travellers to also plan their journey ahead, Northern Railway introduced the Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) whereby the unreserved rail passenger can purchase an unreserved ticket three days in advance from the current booking counters.
</p><p>The first diesel and electric locomotive simulators in India at the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Diesel_Loco_Shed,_Tughlakabad&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Diesel Loco Shed, Tughlakabad (page does not exist)">Tughlakabad</a> and <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Loco_Shed,_Kanpur" title="Electric Loco Shed, Kanpur">Kanpur</a> locomotive sheds were introduced by Northern Railways. These help upgrading the skills of the working and new drivers, providing them training for high-speed train operation. All workshops, diesel sheds and air brake freight departments are <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9000" title="ISO 9000">ISO 9000</a> certified. Diesel shed, Tughlaqabad has the distinction of being the first diesel shed to get <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_14000" title="ISO 14000">ISO 14000</a> certification on the Indian Railway.
</p><p>There are eight workshops operated by Northern Railways
