History of Indian Railway PNR

First train was run from Mumbai to Thane in 1853. During that time the Indian Railway was just started and there were no allocation of PNR number for individual Tickets. People just had booked the ticket from railway station and they got the paper receipt. This receipt was only the proof that they have booked a ticket and during entire journey time they had to carry this receipt because at the destination they had to show the receipt to the receipt checker. There were no TC or ticket checker inside the train.

As a result very soon Indian Railways gradually developed in few years and improved their services. Today there are uncountable trains being run in Indian Railways including normal Passenger trains to Luxury trains but there is a lot of difference in fare on ticket.

Below are the list of all the types of trains begin run today:

IRCTC Passenger trains: There are two type of passenger trains Slow and passenger trains. Basically passenger trains run for small distance. The difference between Slow passenger train and Fast passenger train is slow passenger train stops at every station but fast passenger train stops at only important stations.

Express & Super-fast Trains: These trains are very fast and runs between long distance stations.

Shatabdi Trains: These trains are very high speed and always between very long distance cities. The fair of ticket in these type of trains are very hing compare to above mentioned trains.

Garib Rath Train: Ah! very luxury train for high class passengers. Only AC3 and high classes are available in these trains.
