The Arrah-Sasaram Light Railway (MLR-ASLR) was a narrow gauge (2' 6") "chord" line which ran south-west from Arrah, on the Patna to Moghal section of the East Indian Railway, to Sasaram, on the Gaya to Moghal section of the East Indian Railway. [1]

The ASLR was one of several small narrow gauge concerns owned and worked by Martin's Light Railways, a management company based in Calcutta.

According to IRFCA, the line closed in 1978. [2]
