The Department of Public Works and Railways was a department of the Government of New Ingrea that existed between May 1894 and November 1975.
It was preceded by separate departments of Railways (1860) and Public Works (1855) until the findings of the Crosby Royal Commission recommend their amalgamation in 1894. Upon abolition, it's functions were transferred to the New Ingrean Railways and the Public Works Authority.
