History

The Morvi-Wankaner section was laid as a 2 ft 6 inch (narrow gauge) road side tram way in the year 1890 by Morvi Railway up to Morvi under the regime of Sir Waghji Thakor. Later it was converted to metre gauge in 1924. Later it was extended to Maliya Miyana before 1940's. Sir Lakhdhiraji Thakor^[1] who ruled from 1922 until 1948. Sir Lakhdiraji acted as a ruler, manager, patron and policeman of the state with great authority. Sir Lakhdiraji, like other contemporary rulers of Saurashtra, built roads and a railway network (of seventy miles), connecting Wadhwan and Morbi and the two small ports of Navlakhi and Vavania to export salt and cloth. It was the last steam engine hauled section in India. Before railbuses took over on Wankaner-Morvi, there were two-coach trains hauled by YG or YP steam locos (these were the last steam-hauled trains on those routes).^[2] Running of Steam trains stopped in April 1999.^[3]
