Porbandar (Ranavav) Tramway Proposal

In 1898 a tramway was proposed from Ranavav to Kandorpa in order to attract the Kutiana traffic to the ‘Porbandar Railway’ as this region of Porbandar was most productive and fertile ^[1].

This project did not proceed.

Notes

Ranavav is 9 miles (14km) from Porbandar and a station on the ‘Porbandar State Railway’(PSR), this railway opened in 1888
Kandorpa iand Kutiana stated above have not been located
In 1889 the short PSR ‘Quarry Branch’ line of 3.7 miles(6km) opened from Ranavav to a quarry, location not known.
