Ah yes! This paper is really cool! However i haven't been able to find the actual map images on this. It does seem like a lot of this data comes from the source "History of Indian Railways, Constructed and in Progress (1918 and 1966 volumes)" but i don't know where to access/buy these. I've asked IRFCA regarding the same too, i'll keep this thread updated if I find the maps.
