The '''Madaya Light Railway''' (MLR) was a short 2' 6" narrow gauge line which operated for just 15 years in Burma.
== History ==
The first section of the MLR was opened to traffic in 1912 and ran northwards for 8 miles from [[Mandalay]] to [[Toungbyon]]. !n 1917, the second (and final) section, also of 8 miles, was opened through to [[Madaya]].
The company went into voluntary liquidation in 1919 and was sold on privately. The Government of Burma bought the line in 1923 and made it over to [[Burma Railway]].
The line finally closed in 1927 when it was replaced by a metre gauge railway.
