The '''Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway''' (O&RR) was formed around 1872 by taking over the interests of the ‘[[Indian Branch Railway]]’ / ‘Awadh Rohilkhand Railway‘ - [[Indian Branch Railway| ''see separate page for details'']].
The O&RR operated under a Government of India([[Government of India |GoI]]) guarantee. And was acquired by the State on 1 Jan 1889<ref name=Admin>[https://archive.org/stream/BombayBarodaAndCentralIndiaRailwaySystem/Bombay_Baroda_And_Central_India_Railway_System#page/n140/mode/1up “Administration Report on Railways 1918” page 131 (pdf 140) ]; Retrieved 24 Oct 2020</ref>.
In 1925, the O&RR was merged into the ‘[[East Indian Railway]]’(EIR) when the latter came into state management.
O&RR were given operating rights of the opening in 1905 of the [[Allahabad-Fyzabad Railway]] which included the [[Curzon Bridge, Allahabad]] over the river Ganges. This line and bridge were constructed by [[State Railways]] and connected to the [[East Indian Railway]](EIR) to the south of the river Ganges and a junction to the O&RR mainline. Thus providing a direct link from Allahbad to Lucknow and the hill stations beyond. <ref name=ICE>[http://www.icevirtuallibrary.com/doi/abs/10.1680/imotp.1908.17544 Institution of Civil Engineers "The Curzon Bridge at Allahabad" by Robert Richard Gales, 1908]; Retrieved 16 Jul 2016</ref>.
The O&RR was merged into the [[East Indian Railway]](EIR) in 1925 when the latter came into state management.
