The '''Arrah-Sasaram Light Railway''' (MLR-ASLR) was a 2ft 6in/762mm narrow gauge([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]]) "chord" line which ran south-west from [[Arrah]], on the [[Patna]]-[[Moghal]] section of the [[East Indian Railway]](EIR), to [[Sasaram]], on the [[Gaya]]-[[Moghal]] section of the EIR. The 60 mile(96km) line opened in 1911 and was extended a further 25 miles(40km) in 1914 for goods traffic only.
The Arrah-Sasaram Light Railway Company was one of several small narrow gauge concerns owned and worked by [[Martin's Light Railways]](MLR), a management company based in [[Calcutta]].
According to IRFCA, the line remained as a private railway until closed in 1978.<ref>[http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-nonir.html "Non-IR Railways in India"; paragraph 9 IRFCA ''Indian Railways Fan Club'']; Retrieved 15 Dec 2015</ref>
