The Southern Railway in the United Kingdom, which existed between 1923 and 1948, was geographically the smallest of the four railway systems created in the Grouping ordered by the Railways Act 1921.
Unlike the three other railway systems established by the Grouping (the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, the London and North Eastern Railway and the Great Western Railway), the Southern Railway was predominantly a passenger railway.
The Southern Railway was probably the most innovative of the Big Four companies, and the main evidence of that is its commitment to electrification - compare the Southern's legacy with the absence from the Great Western Railway of even a single electrified route.

Unlike the three other railway systems remaining after Grouping (the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, the London and North Eastern Railway and the Great Western), the Southern Railway was a predominantly passenger-oriented railway.
The density of much of the Southern's trackage and traffic made it a natural candidate for electrification; indeed the LSWR and the LBSCR had already introduced it for some of their lines in the London area before the grouping.
