The '''Agra-Gwalior Railway''' in about 1899 was renamed the '''[[Gwalior Light Railway]]'''(GLR) and develpoed a series of 2' 0" Narrow Gaugebroad gauge([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_GaugeBroad_Gauge|NGBG]]) branchlines, owned by the [[Princely states|Princely ]][[Gwalior State]] and radiating line from the city of [[Gwalior]], worked by the to [[Great Indian Peninsula RailwayAgra]](GIPR)<ref>[https://ia801009.us.archive.org/8/items/BombayBarodaAndCentralIndiaRailwaySystem/Bombay_Baroda_And_Central_India_Railway_System.pdf " Administration Report on the Railways and completed in India – corrected up to 31st March 1918"; Superintendent of Government Printing, Calcutta; page242]; Retrieved 18 Dec 2015</ref>; renamed [[Scindia State Railway]], 19441881.
The [[Agra]] Cantonment to [[Dholpur]] section was opened in 1878; the [[Gwalior]] to Hetampur section, 1879; the final section [[Dholpur]] to Hetampur, 1881.Total line length 76 miles(122km) <ref name =AdminGIPR>[https://archive.org/stream/BombayBarodaAndCentralIndiaRailwaySystem/Bombay_Baroda_And_Central_India_Railway_System#page/n73/mode/1up “Administration Report on Railways 1918” page 65 (pdf73)]; Retrieved 15 Dec 2016</ref>.
The railway, owned by [[Princely states|Princely ]][[Gwalior State]] Durbar, appears to have been worked independently until 1885 when the [[Indian Midland Railway]] (IMR), a state agency, was formed to undertake the working of several existing broad gauge([[Rail_gauge#Broad_Gauge|BG]]) branch lines.
The IMR worked this line for a short time until amalgamated into the [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]](GIPR) broad gauge([[Rail_gauge#Broad_Gauge|BG]]) becoming part of the ‘Midland Section GIPR Mainline’<ref name =AdminGIPR/>
The 1918 Administation Report <ref name =AdminGIPR/> describes this section of the GIPR being owned by '''[[Scindia State Railway]]'''
