This is possibly connected to the Indian Railways too, although the only reference I can find with regards RMR is as detailed below. This seems to refer to a Railway Station only and not a network so I suspect this is not what RMR stands for as its unlikely firebricks were made specifically for and marked for a single Station.
Ramnagar railway station is a small railway station in Amethi district, Uttar Pradesh. Its code is RMR. It serves Ramnagar city. The station consists of 1 platform. The platform is not well sheltered. It lacks many facilities including water and sanitation. The nearest airport is Pantnagar Airport at a distance of 55 km.
In 1907, during the British Raj, the railway line in Uttarakhand was extended from Moradabad to Ramnagar. Ramnagar railway station is under the administrative control of the Izzatnagar division of the North Eastern Railway zone of the Indian Railways. The station is located about 65 km from Nainital. It has direct rail links to Kashipur, Moradabad, Delhi, Bareilly, Lucknow, Haridwar, Chandigarh, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Agra, Jaisalmer and Varanasi. Source WIKI
