The first section of what was then called the '''Jamnagar Railway''' connected [[Jamnagar]] to the [[Bhavnagar-Gondal-Junagad-Porbandar Railway]] at [[Rajkot]] and was opened for traffic in 1897. | |||
The line was worked as part of the [[Bhavnagar-Gondal-Junagad-Porbandar Railway]] system until 1911. Later, when the line was extended westwards to [[Dwarka]] and [[Port Okha]] on the [[Gulf of Cutch]], the system was renamed the '''Jamnagar and Dwarka Railway'''. | |||
