The Cooch Behar State Railway (CBSR) was a 2' 6" narrow gauge line that ran north from its junction with the Eastern Bengal Railway at Gitaldaha to Cooch Behar and on to Jainti in the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas.
Owned by the State of Cooch Behar, it was worked by the Eastern Bengal Railway. In 1910 the line was converted to metre gauge.
