The '''Northern Bengal State Railway''' (NBSR) was one of the first metre gauge lines to be constructed.
== History ==
Initially built only as far as [[Chilahati]] but later extended to [[Siliguri]] (where the [[Darjeeling-Himalayan Railway]] began]], the NBSR branched west at [[Parbatipur]] to [[Dinagepore]] and east to [[Kaunia]].
In 1887 the NBSR was merged into the [[Eastern Bengal State Railway]] in order to ensure better management.
