Among the Railway Folk Rudyard Kipling

Among the Railway Folk by Rudyard Kipling This series of three articles, collected in From Sea to Sea, vol.2, reports on Kipling's visit to the East India Railway headquarters at Jamalpur in January 1888. This Jamalpur is just south of the Ganges, about 80 miles east of Patna. It should not be confused with another town of the same name about 200 miles further to the east on the Brahmaputra River. See the Introduction to these volumes for more information about his journey, also the Map of 'Kipling's India', and the 1902 Map of North East India.
