<br>The ‘Page’ references quoted refer to this record.
The 1863 proposal to construct a broad gauge([[Rail_gauge#Broad_Gauge|BG]]) 'Tramway' did not proceed and ‘The Road' ''(see below)'' was used for cart and pedestrian traffic.
It was not until 1886-87 further proposals were put forward for a light railway. This finally opened as the [[Barsi Light Railway]] in 1897 using much of the original 'The Road' trackbed. ''(see below)''
==[[Barsi Light Railway]]==
''Spelling Note''
<br>''We have retained the spelling Barsee only with reference to this Tramway''
'''[[Barsi]]''' and '''[[Barsi Light Railway]]''' are is used from about 1870 onwards, and in the [[Imperial Gazetteer of India]] that we take as our definitive spelling.
<br>''We have therefore used the spelling [[Barsi]] in all other references''
