The Scinde Railway was first established by deed of settlement in March 1855 and incorporated by the Scinde Railway Act 1855 (
18 & 19 Vict. c. cxv) in July of that year. The company contracted with the
government to construct a line between
Karachi and
Kotri. The company was granted a 5% return on investment up to a maximum of £1 million in order to build the 120-mile line. The
Karachi-Kotri Railway Line work commenced in April 1858 and on 13 May 1861 succeeded in connecting Karachi to Kotri. This was the first railway line for public use between Karachi and Kotri, a distance of 108 miles (174 km). The company was involved in a number of additional railway line projects, as well as the establishment of the
Indus Steam Flotilla along the
Indus River and
Chenab River. The Scinde Railway Act 1857 (
20 & 21 Vict. c. clx) granted it the opportunity to extend its operations. In 1870, the Scinde Railway Company was amalgamated with the
Punjab Railway and
Delhi Railway companies and renamed as the
Scinde, Punjab & Delhi Railway company. This was covered by the Scinde Railway Company's Amalgamation Act 1869 (
32 & 33 Vict. c. lxxx). ==Rolling stock==
