Railway Zones in India

Indian Railways divides its operations into zones, which are further sub-divided into divisions, each having a divisional headquarters. There are a total of 18 zones. Each  divisions is headed by a Divisional Railway Manager, who reports to the General Manager of the zone.

The Indian Railway is now re - organised into 16 zones. The distribution pattern of the railway network in the country has been largely influenced by physiographic, economic and administrative factors. The Northern plains with their vast level land, high population density and rich agricultural resources, provide the most favourable condition for their growth.
