How to interpret this infobox

The Bhavnagar-Gondal-Junagad-Porbandar Railway was a system comprising several small metre gauge lines on the Kathiawar peninsula, owned by the four Indian States that compose the name. This administrative coalition was dissolved in 1911.

These railways were to come together with others (eg the Morvi Railway) in 1948 to form the Saurashtra Railway.
