A metre gauge line, the '''Dacca State Railway''' (DSR) was constructed mainly for the carriage of raw jute to the inland port of [[Narayanganj]] for forwarding by river to [[Calcutta]].
== History ==
The 90 mile long DSR was opened for traffic in 1885. In 1887, to ensure better management, the DSR was amalgamated with the [[Eastern Bengal State Railway]] (EBSR).
At [[Mymensingh]], there was an end-on connection to the privately owned [[Mymensingh-Jamalpur-Jagannath Railway]], also worked by the EBSR.
