History

The Morvi-Wankaner section was laid as a 2ft 6inch road side tram way in the year 1890 by Morvi Railway under the regime of Sir Waghji Thakor. Wadhwan-Rajkot metre gauge section of Morvi State Railway laid in the year 1890.[3] Rajkot-Wadhwan section was completed in the year 1905 by Morvi State Railway. Later Morvi-Wankaner section was converted to Metre gauge in 1924 to match rail lines of other state.[4]

Railway reorganization

Morvi State Railway was merged into the Western Railway on 5 November 1951. It was the last Steam engine hauled section in India in the year 2000. 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).[5] Wankaner-Maliya Miyana section Conversion to Broad gauge was completed in the year 2001.[6]
