==History==<br />
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.<ref name=irfcai>{{cite web| url = http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-hist.html |title = IR History: Early History (1832–1869) | publisher= IRFCA| access-date = 23 June 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.ncr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?lang=0&id=0,1,396,403,500| title = Allahabad Division: A Historical Perspective| publisher = North Central Railway| access-date = 24 May 2013| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130601154617/http://www.ncr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?lang=0&id=0%2C1%2C396%2C403%2C500| archive-date = 1 June 2013| url-status = dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-04-12/patna/31330356_1_indian-railways-danapur-division-railway-board | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120822142843/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-04-12/patna/31330356_1_indian-railways-danapur-division-railway-board | url-status = dead | archive-date = 22 August 2012 |title = Railways enter 159th year of its journey|date=23 June 2013| work = [[The Times of India]] | access-date = 24 May 2013}}</ref><br />
