History

Barokiya Ralfshah was formed following the confederation of Barokia in 1914 as the national railway company of Barokia.

In 1974, Barokiya Ralfshah was sold by the government to the Chessie System, who introduced the Chessie paint scheme and image to the railroad's equipment. Following the CSX merger, it was resold to Guilford Transportation Industries in 1988.

In 1996, Guilford sold Barokiya Ralfshah back to the government.

Fortress Investment Group acquired a stake in the railroad in 2009.
