The Kanpur–Delhi section is a railway line connecting Kanpur Central and Delhi. This section includes Agra Chord and Etah link. The main line is part of Howrah-Delhi main line and Howrah-Gaya-Delhi line. The Agra-Delhi chord is part of Delhi-Mumbai line and Delhi-Chennai line. ==History== The East Indian Railway Company initiated efforts to develop a railway line from Howrah to Delhi in the mid nineteenth century. Even when the line to Mughalsarai was being constructed and only the lines near Howrah were put in operation, the first train ran from Allahabad to Kanpur in 1859 and the Kanpur-Etawah section was opened to traffic in the 1860s. For the first through train from Howrah to Delhi in 1864, coaches were ferried on boats across the Yamuna at Allahabad. With the completion of the Old Naini Bridge across the Yamuna through trains started running in 1865-66.〔(【引用サイトリンク】IR History: Early History (1832-1869) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】Allahabad Division: A Historical Perspective )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】Railways enter 159th year of its journey )〕 The wide metre gauge Delhi-Bandikui and Bandikui-Agra lines of Rajputana State Railway were opened in 1874.〔(【引用サイトリンク】IR History:Early Days II (1870-1899) )〕 The Hathras Road-Mathura Cantt line was opened in 1875 and the Agra-Gwalior line was opened in 1881.〔 The Agra-Delhi chord was opened in 1904.〔(【引用サイトリンク】IR History: Part III (1900-1947) )〕 Some parts of it were relaid during the construction of New Delhi (inaugurated in 1927-28).〔(【引用サイトリンク】A fine balance of luxury and care )〕 The long wide broad gauge Barhan-Etah line was constructed in 1959.
