The '''Shahdara-Saharanpur Light Railway''' (SSLR) was a narrow gauge (2' 6") line which ran north from [[Shahdara]], one of the north-eastern suburbs of [[Delhi]], to [[Saharanpur]], a junction on the [[Meerut]] to [[Umballa]] section of the [[North Western Railway]] with the [[Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway]]. The SSLR was distinguished as the first and only narrow gauge line to originate from [[Delhi]].
The SSLR was one of several small narrow gauge concerns owned and worked by [[Martin's Light Railways]], a management company based in [[Calcutta]].
According to IRFCA, the line closed in 1970 but was later taken over by [[Indian Railways]], the line being converted to broad gauge and re-opened to traffic.
