Secunderabad-Gadwal Railway
The Secunderabad-Gadwal Railway was a metre gauge(MG) section of the Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway(NGSR) network. The first section from Secunderabad opened in 1916 and reached Wanaparti Road by February 1917 a length of 103 miles(170km). [1] [2]
Construction then stopped (presumably due to WW1) and did not recommence until 1922 when it reached Gadwal, a further 13 miles. The line was extended a further 35 miles to finally reach the Indian/British Frontier in 1928. [3]
