The Gaekwar’s Mehsana Railway was owned by the Princely Baroda State. The metre gauge(MG) railway first opened in 1887 with the line from Mehsana to Vadnagar a distance of 21 miles (34km).
The network was progressively expanded from 1888 through to 1921 to a total of 193 miles(309km). [1] [2]
Up to 1921 the network was worked by Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway(BB&CIR).
From 1921 the network was worked by Gaekwar's Baroda State Railway(GBSR) and in 1928 a further 26 miles(42km) were added.
