The ‘Bengal and North Western Railway Company ‘came into being in October 1882 as a result of an agreement made with the Secretary of State for India. The government had started work in 1881 on constructing a rail link between Patna and Bahraich, along the Ghaghara River. The company agreed to complete the construction works and, in consideration of that investment, the government would provide a tranche of land without charge (instead of providing a guaranteed return). Once constructed the company became responsible for the railway’s operation under the concession agreement
The B&NWR was unusual in that it was one of the very few railways promoted and constructed without Government assistance other than the gift of land, the original contract being signed in 1882.

The B&NWR Agent and Chief Engineer was Alexander Izat from February 1883, 'on loan' from the Public Works Department , a post which he held till the 31st May 1904 when he joined the Home Board as Managing Director . An outstanding tribute was paid to Alexander Izat in 1912 - see the Inaugeration of the Izat Bridge

In 1890 the company took over management of the ‘Tirhoot State Railway’(TSR) and managed a number of further lines up until 1943.

Later, following retirement of Alexander Izat in 1904, James Rennie Izat, the eldest son became the B&NWR Chief Engineer and later the B&NWR Agent and General Manager, with headquarters at Gorakhpur . William Rennie Izat, a younger son was the B&NWR Chief Engineer . It has not been possible to determine these dates.

On 1 January 1943, the Government of India nationalised the B&NWR and amalgamated it with the Rohilkund and Kumaon Railway and the Lucknow-Bareilly State Railway to form the Oudh and Tirhut Railway which subsequently, in 1952, became part of North Eastern Railway, a zone of Indian Railways.
