The '''Rohilkund and Kumaon Railway''' (RKR) was a small metre gauge railway whose northern terminus at [[Kathgodam]] served the sub=montane belt of the United Provinces between [[Lucknow]] and [[Moradabad]], as well as a number of hill stations, such as [[Naini Tal]].  == History == The RKR was company owned and worked from formation in 1882 until its nationalisation in 1943 when it was amalgamated with the [[Bengal and North-Western Railway]], with which it had been closely associated, to form the [[Oudh and Tirhut Railway]]. In turn, in 1952, the [[Oudh and Tirhut Railway]] became part of '''North Eastern Railway''', a zone of Indian Railways.
