Barsee Tramway
The Barsee Tramway is mentioned as an 1863 project to connect Barsee with the Barsee railway station in the India Office Records (IOR) stated below. No further information has been found.
It appears likely that Barsee was later renamed Barsi.
The Imperial Gazetter of India [1] states that 'The town is connected with Barsi Road station on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway by the Barsi Light Railway, opened in 1897.
No evidence has been found to confirm if this tramway was ever constructed prior to the construction of the Barsi Light Railway.
