There are many books on Indian Railways and practically none on its Financial management . In this respect this is perhaps the first book of its kind. It is a compilation of papers by some eminent transport economists and railwaymen who have either been at the helm of affairs or been intimately involved in its running. The book thus has an effective blend of theory as well as fruits of long years of experience.
