Tirhut Railway
Tirhut Railway was originally owned by the Darbhanga raj and later by the provincial government. Its ownership was later transferred to the Government of India which operated it as part of the Indian State Railways from opening to late 1886, as the Tirhoot Railway from late 1886 to 30 June 1890 and by the Bengal and North Western Railway from 1 July 1890. Tirhoot Railway absorbed the Segowlie-Raxaul Railway in around 1920. The Tirhut Railway was merged into the Oudh and Tirhut Railway on 1 January 1943.
The first railway line in Tirhoot was laid from the Darbhanga palace compound to Bajitpur in Sakri. A second line was laid down from Darbhanga to Samastipur as the first line for general transport in Tirhoot division.
