Originally named the Rajkot-Beti Tramway; the Morvi Railway was owned and managed by the Indian State of Morvi.
Sometimes also known as the Wadhwan-Morvi State Railway
Originally built to 2' 6" Narrow Gauge(NG) as a Tramway, it was converted to Metre Gauge(MG) to match the other lines in Gujerat and Kathiawar. [1]
