The Bengal and North Western Railway was owned and worked by the Bengal and North Western Railway Company (registered 23 October 1882, dissolved October 1946). The Bengal and North Western Railway was merged into the Oudh and Tirhut Railway on 1 January 1943.[1]

Its original Director was the Scottish railway engineer Alexander Izat (1844–1920) who was responsible for the engineering of the lines and stations.[2]
