How to interpret this infobox

The Junagadh State Railway (JunSR) was a metre gauge(MG) railway owned by the Princely Junagadh State and intially worked by the Bhavnagar-Gondal-Junagad-Porbandar Railway [1]

From 1911 the JunSR worked itself as an independent system, owned by the Junagadh Durbar, until 1948 when it became part of the Saurashtra Railway.

Records

An on-line search of the India Office Records (IOR) records held at the British Library relating to this railway [2] gives the following:-

  • R/1/1/4784(1) and (2); "File 110-IB(C)/1935 Proposed taking over of management of the Jetalsar-Rajkot Railway by the Junagadh State Railway from the Gondal Railway"; 1935

This record requires examination to determine if the Junagadh State Railway were sucessful in the takeover of the management of Jetalsar-Rajkot Railway
