The ''' Achalpur([[Ellichpur)]]-[[Murtazapur]]-[[Yavatmal ]] Railway ''' ran from [[AchalpurEllichpur]] (formerly currently known as EllichpurAchalpur) to [[Yavatmal]]. The narrow gauge line (N.G) was constructed during 1913-14 by [[GIPR|Great Indian Peninsular Railway]] (GIPR), who worked the line until taken over by the [[Government of India]] (GOI) in 1925.
In fact the line is still owned today by the London based company [[Central Provinces Railway Co Ltd]] (CPR), however grouped under [[Central Railway]] of Indian Railways since 1952 which operate it on lease, extended from time to time. The railway is operated in two separate branches from main line (B.G.) Junction station at Murtijapur.
