In 1863, Khanderao purchased 3 steam locomotives built by Neilson and Co., Glasgow. These 0-4-0 ST locomotives proved to be too heavy for the rails. During the reign of Malharrao in 1871, the old rails were removed and new rail 30 lbs to a yard were laid. The 32.3 km Miyagam-Dabhoi line was reopened for traffic on 8.4.1873 and renamed the '''[[Gaekwar's Baroda State Railway]]'''(GBSR).
Agreements were made in 1897, 1907 and 1916 with the [[Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway]](BB&CIR) for the management, mainenance maintenance and working of the railway.<ref name=name>
