The Cawnpore–Barabanki Railway (C–B) was owned by the Government of India and managed as part of the East Indian Railway, and was worked by the Bengal and North Western Railway and the Rohilkund and Kumaon Railway and their successors. The Cawnpore–Barabanki Railway was essentially the common stem of the Bengal and North Western Railway and Rohilkund and Kumaon Railway networks. The Cawnpore–Barabanki Railway was transferred to the North Eastern Railway on 27 February 1953.

- Cawnpore–Aishbagh line (metre gauge: 45 miles)
