Jullundur-Doab Railway
The Jullundur-Doab Railway, opened in 1912. Apparently this railway could have originally been been part of Southern Punjab Railway(SPR) and then renamed to form the Hoshiarpur Doab Railway. [1] [2]
Two other railways were constructed as extensions to the Jullundur-Doab Railway which was renamed Hoshiarpur Doab Railway[1]
- Jullundur-Mukerian Railway, metre gauge(MG), 44 miles (70km), opened 1914-15.
- Jullundur-Nakodar Chord Railway, opened after 1914.
