| − | Also known as the '''Deoghar Railway''', the DR was a very short (only 5 miles long) metre gauge line which branched off the [[East Indian Railway|East Indian Railway's]] main line between [[Madhupur]] and [[Luckeeserai]], probably at [[Jasidih]].

| − | According to ''Wikipedia'', Deoghar today (2009) does not have a railway station on the modern [[Indian Railways]] network so it is likely that the line has either fallen into disuse or even been lifted.

| − | "Deoghur Railway" also known as "Deoghar Railway" has neither fallen to disuse, nor been lifted as reported by FIBIS. It has been re-christend as "Baidyanath Dham Railway Station" (named after the ancient and very famous Lord Shiva Temple at Deoghar) and the loop line of 6 Kilometres, which was converted into Broad Gauge, still connects the Holy Deoghar Town (and now also a District Head Quarter) to the Eastern Railways Main Line at the "Jasidih Junction".

| |
| − | A new Railways Project is also fast nearing completion which would connect Jasidih to the ancient town of Dumka (the then Head Quarter of the District of Sonthal Pargana created in the Year 1855 after the famous Sonthal Insurrection) via Deoghar, though the alignment of this new route has little in common to the existing "Deoghur Railway".
