Shimoga Tramway
The Shimoga Tramway was opened in 1907 to convey manganese ore from the Mysore Manganese Company’s mines at Kumsi. The tramway was 18 miles in length and was constructed by the Company as none of the Mysore rivers were navigable . The narrow gauge(NG) tramway operated to the Shimoga railway station where there was a connection to the metre gauge(MG) Birur-Shimoga Railway. [1] [2]
No other information has been found concerning this tramway.
