== Characteristics ==In 1863, the IBR built the [[Nalhati-Azimganj Railway]], a unique 4ft(1222mm) rail gauge. See [[Rail_gauge]]
In 1863, the IBR built the 4' gauge Nalhati-Azimganj line. In 1866, it began construction of a metre gauge Metre Gauge([[Rail_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) line between Lucknow-Kanpur, completed the following year. Without a guaranteed return from the Government of India([[Government of India |GoI]]), the IBR found it impossible to continue and in 1867, secured a new contract from the [[Government of India |GoI]] on terms similar to those on offer in the 1850s i.e. a guaranteed return on capital employed. Subsequently, the IBR was subsumed into the [[Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway]](O&RR).
