The '''Bengal-Nagpur Railway''' (BNR) was formed in 1887 to take over the metre gauge([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) [[Nagpur Chhattisgarh Railway|Nagpur-Chhattisgarh Railway]], to convert the existing metre gauge track to broad gauge([[Rail_gauge#Broad_Gauge|BG]]) and to extend the system eastwards to join the [[East Indian Railway]] at [[Asansol]], 132 miles from Calcutta.
