The railway was a Metre Gauge(MG) line, sponsored by the Mewar Durbar (Mewar State), to link Udaipur to Chitor and worked by the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway(BB&CIR) up to 31 December 1897. With effect from 1st January 1908 the maintenance and working was taken over by the Mewar Durbar. [1]
