The Cawnpore-Barabanki Railway was owned by the Government of India(GoI) and was worked by the Bengal and North-Western Railway(B&NWR) and the Rohilkund and Kumaon Railway(R&KR) and their successors.
The Cawnpore-Barabanki Railway was a metre gauge(MG) railway and essentially the common stem of the B&NWR and the R&KR networks. [1]
There were two lines:
- Daliganj-Barabanki line, MG linking Daliganj (R&KR) to Barabanki (B&NWR), a line of 18 miles(29km) opened 1896
- Cawnpore-Aishbagh line, MG linking Cawnpore to Aishbagh (R&KR), a line of 45 miles(72km), opened 1897. Part of this section was originally named the Cawnpore-Burhwal Railway (Metre Gauge Link), an existing branch of the O&RR to which a third rail was added, creating a short, mixed (BG and MG) gauge link
The Cawnpore-Barabanki Railway was transferred to the North Eastern Railway on 27 February 1953.
