The Cawnpore-Burhwal Railway (C-B) was owned by the Government of India and managed as part of the Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway (East Indian Railway from 1 July 1925). Cawnpore-Burhwal Railway was sanctioned for construction in October 1894 to provide a link between the metre gauge railways, north of the Ganges with the Rajputana-Malwa Railway system. The construction was commenced in November 1894. The line was constructed alongside the broad gauge from Cawnpore via Lucknow to a junction with Bengal and North Western Railway at Burhwal 99.6 miles away. The line between Burhwal and Daliganj on the Lucknow-Bareilly Railway was opened on 24 November 1896. The Aishbagh-Cawnpore section of the Cawnpore- Burhwal Railway (metre gauge link) was opened for goods traffic on the 25 April 1897. The Cawnpore-Burhwal Railway was essentially the common stem of the Bengal and North Western Railway and Rohilkund and Kumaon Railway networks, It had two sections: * Cawnpore-Aishbagh line (Metre gauge: 45 miles) : Cawnpore (BBCI) to Aishbagh (R&K) (45 miles) opened 25 Apr 1897 * Daliganj-Barabanki line (Metre gauge: 18 miles) : Daliganj (R&K) to Barabanki (BNW) (18 miles) opened 24 November 1896 In Oudh and Rohilkhand railway and Cawnpore-Burhwal railway there were no curves of a shorter radius than 1,000 feet, except on the Cawnpore-Burhwal railway where the sharpest curve has a radius of 573 feet. The Cawnpore-Burwhal Railway was renamed the Cawnpore-Barabanki Railway around 1943. ==See also== * History of rail transport in India 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cawnpore-Burhwal Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
