History

Dhrangadhra Railway was owned by Ghanshyamsinhji of Dhrangadhra state, who ruled from 1889 to 1942. It was opened to traffic in 1898. A small metre gauge section between Dhrangadhra and Wadhwan was opened in 1905. Initially it worked with Bhavnagar–Gondal–Junagad–Porbandar Railway until 1911. Later it worked with Bhavnagar State Railway until 1942. During this time the total rail line was 40 miles. Later it worked with Morvi Railway and merged into Saurashtra Railway in April 1948.[1]

Conversion to broad gauge
