How to interpret this infobox

The Morvi Railway was owned and managed by the Princely Morvi State

Sometimes also known as the Wadhwan-Morvi State Railway

The original section from Vankaner to Morvi was built to 2' 6" Narrow Gauge(NG) as a Tramway ^[1]. Richard Gardiner in 1887 was Manager-in-charge ^[2] and Willoughby Verner Constable was the Officiating Manager^[3].

The tramway was converted to Metre Gauge(MG) to match the other lines in Gujerat and Kathiawar. ^[4]

In 1948 the Morvi Railway was merged to form the Saurashtra Railway
