To the south and north of the River Ganges lay the extensive metre-gauge systems of the [[Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway]] (BB&CIR) and the [[Bengal and North-Western Railway]](B&NWR).  The '''Cawnpore-Burhwal Railway''' (CBR), was a state line worked by the [[Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway]] (ORRO&RR), ; it was simply an existing branch of the ORR O&RR to which a third rail was added, creating a short, mixed-gauge linkbetween the BB&CIR and B&NWR networks. This Metre Gauge Link was owned by the Government of India and managed as part of the O&RR ( which became East Indian Railway from 1st July 1925). The line was later incorporated into the [[Cawnpore-Barabanki Railway]] . ==External Link==*[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cawnpore-Barabanki_Railway Wikipedia - Cawnpore-BarabankiRailway]*[https://indianrailwaynotes.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/north-eastern-railway.pdf Page 11.
