Cawnpore-Kalpi-Jhansi Railway
The Cawnpore-Kalpi-Jhansi Railway opened in 1886 by Indian Midland Railway(IMR) but a direct link to Bombay could not be established until the completion of the 'Yamuna Bridge' at Kalpi in 1888. [1]
The Indian Midland Railway(IMR) amalgamated into Great Indian Peninsula Railway(GIPR) in 1900.
