The main line is under the jurisdiction of North Central Railway. Mughalsarai is under the jurisdiction of East Central Railway. Some branch lines are under the jurisdiction of the North Eastern Railway and Northern Railway. ==Geography== The main line was laid in the Gangetic Plain, south of the Ganges.〔The Indian Empire — Its People, History and Products, by Sir William Wilson Hunter, page 546, Asian Educational Services, New Delhi, First published 1886. .〕 Between Naini and Allahabad, it crosses the Yamuna and enters the doab region or the inland peninsula between the Ganges and Yamuna, still keeping south of the Ganges.〔(【引用サイトリンク】History of Allahabad )〕 Some branch lines came up on the northern side of the Ganges and got interlinked as bridges came up across the Ganges.〔 Two places on these tracks are major pilgrimage centres – Allahabad on the main line and Varanasi, a little off the main line, on a branch line. Varanasi is connected by rail to places throughout India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Varanasi )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Varanasi )〕 The railways make special arrangements for the huge influx of pilgrims for the Kumbh Mela at Allahabad.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Railways puts in place arrangements to check rush of Maha Kumbh pilgrims )〕 The railways played a major role in the development of Kanpur as an industrial centre.〔Planning and Development of an Industrial Town: A Study of Kanpur by S.N.Singh, page 38, Mittal Publications, New Delhi.
