| In about 1854-55 a proposal was put forward for the '''Lucknow, Ganges River Crossing Tramway'''.
| | #Redirect [[Ganges River Tramway ]] |
| | |
| The proposal was submitted by Messrs. Greenway of Cawnpore 'to construct a double tramway to facilitate the transit of the River Ganges'<ref>British Library IOR/E/4/864 p.92 "Proposal by Messer Greenway Bros to construct a double tramway to facilitate the transit of the Ganges referred to the resident in Lucknow."</ref>

| Messrs. Greenway were responsible for similar dry season river crossings of the River Ganges at [[Jajmau near Cawnpore, Ganges River Crossing|Jajmau near Cawnpore]], 1853-54 and [[Furruckabad (Farrukhabad) Tramway|Furruckabad]].
| |
| | |
| This clearly would have been a dry season temporary track but no further information has been found.
