Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?
Yes, I believe the avoidance of Imperial roots to the railway system is a major piece of lacking content, even though the article is purely technical, I intend to add at least a sentence and hyperlink to our article once it is done so that it is at least referenced.
As stated in my answer. I am in a group that intends to create an article on Imperial railway systems that focuses on the history of the Imperial project in India in regards to railway creation.AustinJAragon (talk) 20:39, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this is going to be a quickfail. While some effort has been put into this article, I find too many issues for it to have a realistic prospect of achieving GA status at this time. Some issues I've found, in no particular order:
The first freight rail was operated between Bombay and Ahmedabad in 1966.The source says
The first containerized freight service began between Bombay and Ahmedabad in 1966.These sentences have entirely different meanings. To make things worse, you repeat this in the history section, but there it was interpreted correctly. So there are two issues now - you are repeating the same information, and one of those times you also failed to get the information correct!
The Carnatic Railway was founded in 1869.There is no other context besides
The Great Southern of India Railway and the Carnatic Railway merged in 1874 to form the South Indian Railway.But the reader is left with no information as to what the Carnatic Railway is or why it matters at all!
India Railways operates various categories of express trains including Rajdhani Express, Shatabdi Express, Garib Rath Express, Double Decker Express, Tejas Express, Gatimaan Express, Humsafar Express, Duronto Express, Yuva Express, Uday Express, Jan Shatabdi Express, Sampark Kranti Express, Vivek Express, Rajya Rani Express, Mahamana Express, Antyodaya Express, Jan Sadharan Express, Suvidha Express and Intercity Expressis an abomination. It is a sea of blue, a prosified list, and a massive run-on sentence.
Metro coaches are manufactured by various companies including state-owned ICF, BEML and private companies like Alstom, Mitsubishi, Hyundai Rotem, Bombardier, Siemens, CRRC, Titagarh Firema and CAF with the respective metro systems maintaining their own maintenance depots.Here again we see a giant sea of blue and excessively detailed list.
In 2020, Indian Railways allowed the operation of private passenger trains for the first time with the first train flagged off from Coimbatore in June 2022appears twice in the article, in two different sections.
In 1980, the WAP-1 electric locomotives reached a speed of 130 km/h (81 mph).That's not high speed rail by any definition, and the significance of this is not explained at all. The reader has to skip to the next paragraph to gain some understanding of the history of high speed rail in India.
