The '''Mu Valley State Railway''' (MVSR) was the third metre gauge railway to be constructed in Burma. In 1896, management of the MVSR passed to the newly formed [[Burma Railway]] Company.


== Characteristics ==

Following the arrival of the [[Sittang Valley State Railway]] at Manadaly, construction began on a new line from [[Sagaing]] to [[Myitkyina]], opened by 1898.


== Records ==

Although there do not appear to be any MVSR staff records held in the [[India Office Records]] at the [[British Library]], the names of staff transferred to the successor company may appear in [[Burma Railway]] records.
