The '''Assam-Behar State Railway'''(ABSR) was a metre gauge([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) Indian State Railway. The line was built westward from [[Paratipur]] in 1884 and by 1889 was connected with [[Katihar]].
The railway, jointly owned by [[Assam State]] and [[Behar State]] from [[Paratipur]](now in Banglasdesh) to [[Katihar]] , was taken into Government of India([[Government of India |GoI]]) management in 1942. No information has been found concerning the working of this railway. It linked to the system of lines worked by [[Assam-Bengal Railway]](ABR) and was probably worked by ABR.
With the partition of India in 1947 railway links between India and Bangladesh were severed. The line was divided but both Katihar and Parbatipur continued to be important railway junctions.
