Conceived by the ex-GIPR engineer, [[Everard Richard Calthrop]], the '''Barsi Light Railway''' revolutionised the approach to narrow gauge feeder lines in India, and was immensely successful. By 1927, the line had been extended significantly over 202 route miles(323km).
The line remained in private ownership until 1954 when it was purchased by Indian Railways.
