Mayurbhanj State Railway

[1] The railway was built by the erstwhile ruler of Mayurbhanj State, Maharaja Sriram Chandra Bhanj Deo.

The first section of 52 km from Rupsa to Baripada was opened for traffic on 20 January 1905.

Rupsa was the junction with Bengal Nagpur Railway's 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gaugeline.

These locos were later transferred to Naupada shed of Parlakimedi Light Railway, renamed PL class and heavier 'CC' class 4-6-2 locos of Satpura Railway were introduced on MSR.

Later ZE class locomotives built by M/S Corpet-Louvet, M/S Krauss Maffei and M/S Kawasaki were introduced.
