The first section of what was originally called the Jamnagar State Railway connected Jamnagar to the Bhavnagar-Gondal-Junagad-Porbandar Railway at Rajkot and was opened for traffic in 1897. It was a metre gauge(MG) line of 54 miles (96km) [1]

The line was worked as part of the Bhavnagar-Gondal-Junagad-Porbandar Railway(BGJPR) 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(J&DR). [2] [3]

The BGJPR administrative coalition was dissolved in 1911 with the constituents going their independent ways. The Jamnager Railway worked its own railway from Rajkot to Jamnager with the Junagadh State Railway taking over the working of its system from Jetslar to Veravel including its branches.
