'''Bhagalpur-Bausi-Baidyanath Railway'''
[[File:Bhagalpur-Bausi-Baidyanath Railway Map.png|thumb| File:Bhagalpur-Bausi-Baidyanath Railway]]
A concession was granted 1894-98 to Sir W B Hudson, under branch line terms, for a line from [[Bhagalpur]] via Bausi to Ahmadpur, with a branch to Baidyanath. The survey had been made and estimates prepared, a further survey was being undertaken for a more direct route between Bausi and Baidyanath. <ref>[https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.208633/page/n7 “Summary of the principal measures of the viceroyalty of the Earl of Elgin in the Public Works Department Jan 1894 to Dec 1898” page 21, para 81, pdf34)]; Retrieved 2 Feb 2019</ref>
A branch railway from [[Bhagalpur]] to Mandar Hill was under construction 1907 for the [[East Indian Railway]](EIR)
<ref>"Symphony of Progress; The Saga of Eastern Railway, 1854-2003", page 22 by Pradeep Kumar and Soumitra Majumdar. Published by Eastern Railways, Kolkata, 2003</ref>.
This line was dismantled in 1917-18 for reasons unknown. The 1918 Administration Report page 59 note 'h' reports this as a "decrease of 31.55 miles due to dismantling of the [[Bhagalpur]] to Mandar Hill of the Bhagalpur Bausi Railway" <ref>[https://archive.org/stream/BombayBarodaAndCentralIndiaRailwaySystem/Bombay_Baroda_And_Central_India_Railway_System#page/n67/mode/1up “Administration Report on Railways 1918” pages 59 (pdf67)]; Retrieved 2 Feb 2019</ref>.
''Mandar Hill Railway Stration and Bausi Town are only 1 mile(1.6km) separated, they are clearly the same location. ''
''There is no evidence to show any extension of the line that was constructed from Mandar Hill/Bausi to Baidyanath or Ahmadpur. ''
