Nalhati-Azimganj Railway
The Nalhati-Azimganj Railway was the original section of the line constructed in 1863 by Indian Branch Railway. Also referred to as the 'Nulhati-Murshidibad Tramway' in some early records. The line used a 4ft(1222mm) unique rail gauge and ran from Nalhati only far as Azimganj, a distance of 27 miles (43 km) [1].
The Indian Branch Railway Company was purchased by the Government of India(GoI) in 1872 and the line was renamed Nalhati State Railway. [2]
