New page replacing wrong spelling of Dod-Ballapur, links and spelling note added
The '''Yesvantpur Dod-Ballapur Railway''' was a section of 20 miles(32km), constructed by the [[Princely states|Princely ]][[Mysore State]] Durbar as a metre gauge([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) section of the ‘[[Mysore State Railway]]’. The section from [[Yesvantpur]] to [[Dod-Ballapur]](''see spelling note'') opened in 1892 <ref name=Adminp90>[https://archive.org/stream/BombayBarodaAndCentralIndiaRailwaySystem/Bombay_Baroda_And_Central_India_Railway_System#page/n99/mode/1up “Administration Report on Railways 1918” page 90 (pdf99) ]; Retrieved 18 Feb 2018</ref> as part of the [[Hindupur-Yesvantpur Railway]] and was leased to the [[Southern Mahratta Railway]] (SMR). In 1907, the SMR transformed itself into the [[Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway]] (M&SMR), with the lease following.
From [[Yesvantpur]] the first 6½ miles(10km) to Yelahanka was in 1917 modified to mixed gauge with the addition of a third rail. This was to enable the [[Bangalore-Chik Ballapur Light Railway]] a 2ft 6in/762mm narrow gauge([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]]) line to share the track over this short section <ref name=Adminp90/><ref name=Adminp81>[https://archive.org/stream/BombayBarodaAndCentralIndiaRailwaySystem/Bombay_Baroda_And_Central_India_Railway_System#page/n90/mode/1up “Administration Report on Railways 1918” page 81 (pdf90) ]; Retrieved 18 Feb 2018</ref>
