'''Karwar-Dharwar Light Railway Proposal 1858'''
Bombay, Baroda & Central India Railway – Lines owned and worked


This proposal was put forward by Colonel [[Arthur Thomas Cotton|Cotton]] of the [[Madras Engineers]] in 1858 as a means of transporting the large volumes of cotton from [[Dharwar]], about 75 miles(120km) inland to a port at [[Karwar]] at the mouth of the River Kali, from where the cotton would be pressed and shipped directly to England. The trains would be gravity driven with 2 brakemen; the trucks would be returned to the top using bullocks. An experiment with ¾ inch bars welded throughout with no joins and worked with wagons with double flanges with the tyres sloped to allow the wagon to running round a very sharp curve freely. The proposal was not adopted.
