The British came to India as traders, they established several trading points across the subcontinent. Their main purpose to build the railway line was to make their trading easier. Trains were easily accessible and quick in service as compared to other means of transport in  that time. 

The British had a significant way of living, hence to maintain that lifestyle in India they established the railway line. They planned to rule over the subcontinent for a long time, so they create ease for their people. 

However, it also did benefit the Indians, as the railway line was a revolution in the Indian means of transport. Indians also enjoyed the liberty to use the railway line. 

After the partition, the railway line was handed over to the local government. India till date use the same railway lines introduced by the British.
