''' Martin’s Light Railways''' Co Ltd (MLR), were owned by [[Martin & Company]]. MLR operated several disparate Narrow Gauge([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]]) light railways in the Gangetic plain, from [[Calcutta]] in the east to [[Delhi]] in the west.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin%27s_Light_Railways Wikipedia "Martin's Light Railways"]; Retrieved 10 Apr 2016</ref>.
The lines continued to operate independently long after Independence in 1947, the last being nationalised as late as 1986. At least two lines and parts of a third have been converted to broad gauge and are now part of [[Indian Railways]].
