The '''Cawnpore-Barabanki Railway''' was owned by the Government of India([[Government of India |GoI]]) and managed as part of the [[East Indian Railway]](EIR), 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([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) railway and essentially the common stem of the B&NWR and the R&KR networks. The Cawnpore-Barabanki Railway was transferred to the North Eastern Railway on 27 February 1953.
