1918 Admin Report details checked/added/corrected
== History ==
Originally built and worked by a private company, the line was opened in 1903 as a 2' 0" 2ft/610mm narrow gauge ([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]]) railway. Following the decision of the Imperial General Staffs to standardise, wherever possible, on a 2' 6" 2ft 6in/762mm narrow gauge([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]]), the track was so converted in 1905.
The KSR was taken over by the Government in 1906 and later worked by the [[North Western Railway]].

The KSR remains one of the longest narrow gauge railway lines still operated by [[Indian Railways]].
