The '''Bengal-Dooars Railway''' was a company owned and opearted collection of small metre gauge lines that ran from its junction with the [[Eastern Bengal Railway]] north west towards the [[Bhutan]] border.
== History ==
The Company was formed in the UK in 1891 and the main contract signed in the same year. The longest line ran from [[Lalmanir Hat]] in [[Rangpur District]] north west through [[Cooch Behar]] and [[Jalpaiguri]] Districts to the [[Western Dooars]] on the borders of [[Bhutan]]. The line's headquarters were at [[Domohani]].
The undertaking was amalgamated with the [[Eastern Bengal State Railway]] in January 1941.
