How to interpret this infobox

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.
