  • Cawnpore-Aishbagh line, MG linking Cawnpore to Aishbagh (R&KR), a line of 45 miles(72km), opened 1897. Part of this section was originally named the Cawnpore-Burhwal Railway (Metre Gauge Link), an existing branch of the O&RR to which a third rail was added, creating a short, mixed (BG and MG) gauge link
