The Rohilkund and Kumaon Railway (RKR) was a small metre gauge railway whose northern terminus at Kathgodam served the submontane belt of the United Provinces between Lucknow and Moradabad, as well as a number of hill stations, such as Naini Tal.
History
The RKR was company owned and worked from formation in 1882 until its nationalisation in 1943 when it was amalgamated with the Bengal and North-Western Railway, with which it had been closely associated, to form the Oudh and Tirhut Railway.
In turn, in 1952, the Oudh and Tirhut Railway became part of North Eastern Railway, a zone of Indian Railways.
