How to interpret this infobox

The Kaunia-Kurigram Railway (KKR) was a 2' 6" narrow gauge line that extended the Northern Bengal State Railway eastwards from Kaunia to Teesta, and then to Kurigram. Between 1928-1929, the Kaunia-Teesta section was converted to metre gauge and that from Teesta-Kurigram to broad gauge.
