The '''Shimogar-Talaguppa Railway''' was completed in 1940 as an extension to the [[Birur-Shimoga Railway]] metre gauge([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) line owned and operated by the [[Mysore State Railway]](MSR).


The [[Birur-Shimoga Railway]] had been taken back into MSR management and operation (prior to 1919 [[Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway]]) and there was motivation to expand the network within Mysore State. An extension to [[Talguppa]] would give access to the forest areas and also to Jog Falls. 
Construction commenced from [[Shimoga]] in 1930 and the [[Shimoga-Anandapuram Railway]] line had reached [[Anandapuram]] in 1934 and [[Anandapuram-Sagara Railway|Sagara]] in 1938. Reaching Talguppe in 1939 it enabled access to the Jog Falls and to transport wooden logs from the the forests of the Malnad region to make wooden sleepers <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimoga%E2%80%93Talaguppa_railway Wikipedia “Shimoga-Talguppa Railway”]; Retrieved  30 Aug 2016</ref>
