*The extent of the BG track was clearly extensive as shown by the number of wagons purchased by the [[Imperial Delhi Committee]] between 1913 and 1927. It is known that a BG locomotive shed existed at Barakhamba, which is adjacent to Connaught Circle in the centre of New Delhi and within a short distance of the GIPR mainline <ref name =darvill/>.
==Delhi Construction Narrow Gauge Railway'==
*In Jan 1914 10 miles(16km) of track and accessories, locomotives and trucks were loaned for the construction work from the stores of the '[[Light Military Reserve Railway]]', followed later by a further 2 miles(3.2km) of track and another NG locomotive.
*It is also known that at the start of the project 25 miles(70km) of 2ft 6in/762mm [[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]] line was in use. The NG line was used throughout the building works; the records show large amounts of track, locomotives, wagons and trucks being purchased from 1913-14 onwards <ref name =darvill/>.
