The Ahmadpur-Katwa Railway (AKR) was a narrow gauge line, built and operated as part of McLeod's Light Railways, opening to traffic on 29 September 1917.
In 1966, ownership of the BKR, together with its sister line, the Burdwan-Katwa Railway, was transferred to a zone of Indian Railways, Eastern Railway, which continues to operate the BKR as a narrow-gauge operation.
