As i was going through AMS maps (thanks Anirudh Sir :P) for raigad district, I found this weird MG line running in Raigad district, almost perpendicular to today's KR/CR line
the line starts around Mulshi dam, at some distance below the main mountain range which has Mulshi lake, then runs along a stream that comes from the lake, and the runs alongside Kundalika river before crossing Kolad and then eventually terminating at Roha
Google search throws up nothing of note, although i suspect the line may have had something to do with maintenance...

This line was constructed by Tata Power Co. and completed in 1921-22.
For aiding the construction work around the Mulshi dam and the Tata power plants, Tata Power Co. laid out two light railways. One between Roha-Bhira and the other between Chinchwad-Mulshi. They also constructed one more railway line between Bhivpuri road and Bhivpuri. The loading gauge of these railways is somewhat ambiguous as some records mention it as meter gauge (like the AMS maps) and some mention it as narrow gauge. The Bhivpuri road branch line alignment is still traceable today.

Road transport was the main factor in the demise of many of the light railway lines. In this case, the lines were chiefly used by Tata employees only and they were laid down as light railways so that the maintenance costs could be kept down and also to ensure a rapid construction.
In the early days of the light railways, the tracks were usually laid alongside existing roads and in cases where there were no roads, the track was laid in such a way that the track-bed could also serve as a road if required. This way they ensured that construction costs were low, as surveys for line alignment and land acquisition issues could be...

Thank you. :)
The Chinchwad-Mulshi line is mentioned in several records of the TATA Power co. and the agitations on the line were the subject of discussion in some contemporary legislative assembly debates. One IRFCA member had tried to track the alignment and posted a few pictures of some ruined culverts in the gallery. But the TATA power co's records are the main source of any available information on the line.
