The Hoshiarpur Doab Railway was a private company (The Hoshiarpur-Doab Branch Railway Company), that opened a series of railway lines from 1912 through to 1920. All these lines were worked by North Western Railway(NWR) [1] [2]

  • Jullundur-Doab Railway, opened 1912. Apparently this railway could have originally been been part of Southern Punjab Railway(SPR) and then renamed to form the Hoshiarpur Doab Railway
  • Jullundur-Mukerian Railway, metre gauge(MG), 44 miles (70km), opened 1914-15. Part of Jullundur-Doab Railway; which was renamed Hoshiarpur Doab Railway[1]
  • Jullundur-Nakodar Chord Railway, opened after 1914. Part of Jullundur-Doab Railway); renamed Hoshiarpur Doab Railway
  • Phagwara-Rahoa(Rahon) Railway,metre gauge(MG), 25 miles (40km), opened 1915-16 as part of Hoshiarpur Doab Railwayand extended in 1917 by a further 10 miles (16km).[1]
  • Jaijon Extension Railway, opened before 1920 as part of Hoshiarpur Doab Railway

The network of lines were all worked and apparently finally absorbed by North Western Railway(NWR)
