1918 Admin Report details checked/added/corrected
}}
The '''Ahmadpur-Katwa Railway''' (AKR) was a 2ft 6in/762mm narrow gauge ([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]]) line, built and operated as part of [[McLeod's Light Railways]], opening to traffic on 29 September 1917. The 1918 Administration Report on Indian Railways shows that the working/operating agency was the Ahmadpur-Katwa Railway Railway Company.
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.
