The Narayanganj-Dacca-Mymensingh State Railway was a metre gauge(MG) line of 90 miles(144km) mainly for carriage of raw jute up to the inland port of Narayanganj and then onwards by river to Calcutta.

The first section from Narayanganj to Dacca opened in January 1885 and reached Mymensingh in August 1885. The railway was renamed Dacca State Railway in late 1885; which in 1887 merged into Eastern Bengal Railway(EBR). [1] [2]
