The Minister of State for Public Works and Railways was a member of the Cabinet of New Ingerland responsible for the administration of the Ministry of Public Works and Railways. Always a relatively junior portfolio, the minister was nevertheless responsible for the administration of all aspects of New Ingerland's public works and the railway network. In 1972, the administration of the railways was placed in to the hands of the New Ingerland Railways Authority, and the ministerial portfolio was abolished.
