The railway, owned by [[Princely states|Princely ]][[Gwalior State ]] Durbar, appears to have been worked independently until 1885 when the [[Indian Midland Railway]] (IMR), a state agency, was formed to undertake the working of several existing broad gauge([[Rail_gauge#Broad_Gauge|BG]]) branch lines. The IMR worked this line for a short time until amalgamated into the [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]](GIPR) broad gauge([[Rail_gauge#Broad_Gauge|BG]]) becoming part of the ‘Midland Section GIPR Mainline’<ref name =AdminGIPR/> The 1918 Administation Report <ref name =AdminGIPR/> describes this section of the GIPR being owned by '''[[Scindia State Railway]]''' ==Further Information==From 1885 to 1900 see '''[[Indian Midland Railway]]''' From 1900 onwards see ''' [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]]''' ''See also'' [[Great_Indian_Peninsula_Railway_-_Lines_owned_and_worked#Former_IMR_Lines_transferred_to_GIPR|''' IMR Lines transferred to GIPR ''']] ''See also'' '''[[Scindia State Railway]]''' for further clarification == References ==<references /> [[Category:Railways]][[Category:State Railways]]
