The '''Shimoga Tramway''' was opened in 1907 to convey manganese ore from the Mysore Manganese Company’s mines at [[Kumsi]]. The tramway was 18 miles in length and was constructed by the Company as none of the Mysore rivers were navigable . The narrow gauge([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]]) tramway operated to the [[Shimoga]] railway station where there was a connection to the metre gauge([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) [[Birur-Shimoga Railway]].
