The Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway (ORR) took over the interests of the Indian Branch Railway and a Government of India (GoI) guarantee.


Characteristics

The ORR established workshops at Alambagh (1865) and Charbagh (1867) to provide capacity for the major broad gauge line from Benares to Lucknow which it opened to traffic in 1872. On 31 December 1888, the GoI assumed both ownership and management of the ORR. In 1925, the ORR was merged into the East Indian Railway.


Records

Unfortunately, there are no ORR staff records held in the India Office Records at the British Library.
