The '''Cawnpore-Banda Railway''' was a broad gauge([[Rail_gauge#Broad_Gauge|BG]]) line. The line from [[Cawnpore|Cawnpore (Juhi / Govindpur Junction)]] opened in 1913 and reached Khairar Junction (Khirada) in 1914, a distance of 73 miles(116km). Khairir Junction is where the line joined the [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]](GIPR) 5 miles(8km) from [[Banda]].
 
The Cawnpore-Banda Railway was constructed and worked as a State line by the [[Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway]](O&RR)  up to the 31 March 1915. Thereafter the maintenance, management and working of the line was taken over by [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]](GIPR)
