India_DRLR_Dehri-on-Sone_station The 2ft 6in gauge Dehri Rohtas Light Railway (DRLR), opened in 1911 and by 1927 had been extended in length to 42 miles (67kms). Two daily passenger trains were run each way, but the prime traffic was marble and stone to the exchange sidings with Indian Railways, at Dehri-in-Sone. The line passed through much land owned by the huge engineering company, Rohtas Industries, who also put traffic and their own locomotives on the DRLR which, however, ran all trains. This resulted in an incredible mixture of ancient and some new machines, which must have been a maintenance nightmare! Nevertheless the DRLR continued to function until it succumbed to competition from road traffic, finally closing on 16th July 1984. Dehri-on-Sone railway station, with some Colonial touches remaining: a machine for weighing parcels, hand barrows and potted plants. The stationmaster flags away DRLR No.6 and its train; 7.12.1979.
