How to interpret this infobox

The first section of what was then called the Jamnagar State 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(J&DR).

The Okhamandal State Railway section Kuranga-Okha was opened, 1921 and worked by J&DR in 1922
