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
