'''Tirhut Railway''' (originally '''[[Tirhoot State Railway]]''') was originally owned by the [[Raj Darbhanga]] 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]] is around 1920. The Tirhut Railway was merged into the [[Oudh and Tirhut Railway]] on 1 January 1943.<br />
<br />
The first railway line in Tirhoot was laid from the [[Darbhanga_Fort|Darbhanga palace]] compound (where the place is still marked by the now [[Kameshwar_Singh_Darbhanga_Sanskrit_University|Kameshwar Singh University]]) to Bajitpur in [[Sakri,_Madhubani|Sakri]]. A second line was laid down from [[Darbhanga]] to [[Samastipur]] as the first line for general transport in the [[Tirhut_division|Tirhoot Division]].<br />
