The '''Scinde, Punjab, Delhi Railway''' {{reporting marks|SP&DR}} was formed in 1870 from the incorporation of the [[Scinde Railway]], [[Indus Steam Flotilla]], [[Punjab Railway]] and [[Delhi Railway]] companies.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Railway News and Joint-Stock Journal, Volume 13|year=1870|location=London|language=English|page=621|quote=The scheme for amalgamating the Scine Railway, the Indus Flotilla, the Punjaub Railway, and the Delhi Railway into one united undertaking, as from the 1st of July, 1870, was taken as read.}}</ref> This was covered by the ''Scinde Railway Company's Amalgamation Act'' of 1869.<ref name=name/>

==History==
The Scinde, Punjab, Delhi Railway inherited the unfortunate reputation as being one of the worst managed private railway companies. Given its reputation in the 1860s and 1870s for discord, shady and inept contractors and financial irregularities, it is surprising that the SP&DR did not pass into [[British India|public]] ownership sooner than 31 December 1885. After its purchase, the SP&DR was merged with several other railways to form the [[North Western State Railway]].

*1855: [[Scinde Railway]] formed. After 11 surveys and 18 months the route was approved.<ref name =grace>[http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Scinde_Railway Grace’s Guide “Scinde Railway”] Retrieved on 14 Jun 2016</ref>
*1857: [[Punjab Railway]] formed.<ref name =grace/>
*1858: commencement of the [[Karachi]]-[[Kotri]] section of Scinde Railway.
*1859: contracts signed to construct [[Multan]]-[[Lahore]]-[[Amritsar]] section and operate the [[Indus Steam Flotilla]], thus linking the Scinde and Punjab Railways together.<ref name =grace/>
*1861: [[Karachi]]-[[Kotri]] line of Scinde Railways opens to the public.
*1862: [[Amritsar]]-[[Attari]] section completed on the route to Lahore.
*1863: plans for [[Delhi]]-[[Amritsar]] section (Delhi Railway).<ref name =grace/>
*1870: Scinde, Punjab & Delhi Railway (SP&DR) company formed when [[Scinde Railway]], [[Punjab Railway]], the [[Indus Steam Flotilla]] and [[Delhi Railway]] merge - thus linking [[Karachi]] via [[Multan]] to [[Lahore]].
*1886: contracts expired and responsibility for the SP&DR was transferred entirely to the [[British India|government]], which would merge the company into the [[North Western State Railway]].
