'''Bangalore Hindupur Railway''' is the original name of this railway. It is described in later records as the [[Hindupur-Yesvantpur Railway| Hindupur-Yesvantpur Railway - ''see separate page'' ]] and also the '''Hindupur (Yesvantpur-Mysore Frontier) Railway''';  and the '''Yesvantpur-Mysore Frontier Railway'''


The '''Bangalore Hindupur Railway''' was a 51 mile(82km) line from [[Yesvantpur]] to the Mysore Frontier at [[Hindupur]]  and  a section of the metre gauge([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) [[Mysore State Railway]](MSR). The line was a branch from [[Yesvantpur]] , 3 miles (5 km) north-west of [[Bangalore]]) on the [[Bangalore Harihar Railway]] that had opened by the MSR in 1884 <ref name=Admin>[https://archive.org/stream/BombayBarodaAndCentralIndiaRailwaySystem/Bombay_Baroda_And_Central_India_Railway_System#page/n99/mode/1up “Administration Report on Railways 1918” page 90 (pdf99)]; Retrieved  12 Nov 2018</ref>.
The line opened in 1893 and had 9 stations and was worked by the [[ Southern Mahratta Railway]] (SMR)  .
On 1 July 1893 two sections of the MSR, the  Bangalore-Harihar and Bangalore-Hidupur Railways were transferred  by the State of Mysore to the Government of India,  giving full jurisdiction and operation <ref>British Library ‘India Office Records’  IOR/R/2/Box 4/35 “Mysore Govt. cede jurisdiction over the Bangalore - Hindupur & the Bangalore - Harihar railway lines. Question of jurisdiction over the Kolar Gold Fields Railway”; 1893-94</ref>. The Railway continued to be operated by the SMR.
From 1 Jan 1938, the lines leased to M&SMR, which included the ‘Bangalore Hindupur Section’ reverted to the control of the State of Mysore, creating a homogenous railway of just under 740 miles. In 1950, MSR was nationalised and in 1951 became part of Southern Railway, one of the then newly formed zones of Indian Railways.
