The latter was closed after the earthquake of 1897. The former, which is only 32½ miles in length, is still being worked with fair success. A more important undertaking of the same period was the Dibru-Sadiya railway which brings a great part of the Lakhimpur district into direct communication with the Brahmaputra. It is a private line, 91 miles long, and gives a good return to the share-holders. This was followed in 1895 by a small private railway from Tezpur to Bālipāra, a distance of 20 miles. - [Previous: c23.59](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c23.59) - [Next: c23.61](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c23.61) - [Up: c23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c23) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c23.60](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c23.60) · Pramāṇa
