The first railway proposals for India were made in Madras in 1832. The country's first train, "Red Hill Railway" (built by Arthur Cotton to transport granite for road-building), ran from Red Hills to the Chintadripet bridge in Madras in 1837. In 1845, the "Godavari Dam Construction Railway" was built by Cotton at Dowleswaram in Rajahmundry, to supply stone for the construction of a dam over the Godavari River. In 1851, the "Solani Aqueduct Railway" was built by Proby Cautley in Roorkee to transport construction materials for an aqueduct over the Solani River.
