The '''Barsee Tramway''' is mentioned as an 1863 project to connect Barsee with the Barsee railway station in the [[India Office Records]] (IOR) stated below. No further information has been found.
It appears likely that Barsee was later renamed Barsi.
The Imperial Gazetter of India <ref>[http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V07_094.gif Imperial Gazetteer; Vol 7, page ]; Retrieved 2 Apr 2016</ref> states that 'The town is connected with Barsi Road station on the [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]] by the [[Barsi Light Railway]], opened in 1897.
''No evidence has been found to confirm if this tramway was ever constructed prior to the construction of the [[Barsi Light Railway]].''
