==Survey and Construction==
The first [[Railway Branch - PWD|Public Works Department(PWD) - Railway Branch]] Surveys were undertaken in 1872 and 4 separate routes were surveyed and submitted to the Government. Little happened until 1874 when the staff were transferred to Bengal on Famine relief. In August that year the orders were received to build a 5ft 6inch gauge railway via Dholpur and crossing the Chambal River near Bher. Some of the staff were recalled and the 34 miles from Agra were laid out <ref name=IOR>British Library ‘India Office Records’ V/24/3590 “Sindia State Railway Administration Report” 1878-79</ref>
