The Jullundur-Doab Railway, opened in 1912. Apparently this railway could have originally been been part of Southern Punjab Railway(SPR) and then renamed to form the Hoshiarpur Doab Railway. [1] [2]

Two other railways were constructed as extensions to the Jullundur-Doab Railway which was renamed Hoshiarpur Doab Railway[1]

  • Jullundur-Mukerian Railway, metre gauge(MG), 44 miles (70km), opened 1914-15.
  • Jullundur-Nakodar Chord Railway, opened after 1914.

Records

Refer to FIBIS Fact File #4: “Research sources for Indian Railways, 1845-1947” - available from the Fibis shop. This Fact File contains invaluable advice on 'Researching ancestors in the UK records of Indian Railways' with particular reference to the India Office Records (IOR) held at the British Library

An on-line search of the IOR records relating to this railway [3] gives the following: -

  • L/F/8/17/1281 “Southern Punjab Railway Company Limited, Contract as to construction of the Jullundur-Nakodar Chord Railway as part of the Jullundur-Doab Railway; 1913”
