Changes

The O&RR established workshops at [[Alambagh]] (1865) and [[Charbagh]] (1867) to provide capacity for the major broad gauge ([[Rail_gauge#Broad_Gauge|BG]]) line from [[Benares]] to [[Lucknow]], to the north of the River Ganges, which it opened to traffic in 1872. In 1874, the line was extended to [[Moradabad]] and in 1876, to [[Saharanpur]] where the O&RR met the [[North Western Railway]](NWR). On 31 December 1888, the [[Government of India |GoI]] assumed both ownership and management of the O&RR.
