Soon after the formation of BSR in 1880 the company absorbed the the Princely [[Katiawar Kathiawar State Railway]]
Initially worked by an administrative coalition, as the the [[Bhavnagar-Gondal-Junagad-Porbandar Railway]], the BSR operated as an independent system from 1911 until it was merged to form under the administation of the Bhavnager Durbar. <ref>[[Saurashtra Railway]https://ia801009.us.archive.org/8/items/BombayBarodaAndCentralIndiaRailwaySystem/Bombay_Baroda_And_Central_India_Railway_System.pdf " Administration Report on the Railways in India – corrected up to 31st March 1918"; Superintendent of Government Printing, Calcutta; page 163] in 1948. ; Retrieved 17 Dec 2015</ref>
