History

After connecting Varanasi with Lucknow, the Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway started working west of Lucknow and it reached Bareilly in 1873. A line connecting Moradabad to Chandausi was also built in 1872 and it was continued up to Bareilly in 1873. The Bareilly–Moradabad chord was completed in 1894. The former main line became Chandausi Loop and the one via Rampur became main line. It was extended to Shahranpur in 1886.[1][2] A branch line to Aligarh was opened in 1894.[1]

Electrification

The survey for railway electrification of the Moradabad–Aligarh line, including the Chandausi-Bareilly sector, was sanctioned in the budget for 2012–13.[3]
