==History after 1942==
The railway was renamed ''’'[[Scindia State Railway]]''' in 1942 after the Scindia family who ruled Gwalior until India's independence <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scindia Wikipedia “Scindia” )]; Retrieved 15 Dec 2016</ref>.
Following partition in 1947, the ‘'''[[Scindia State Railway]]’ ''' came under the control of the Government of India on 1 August 1950 with a route length of 294 miles(473km). The railway became part of the ‘[[Central Railway]]’ Zone of [[Indian Railways]] on 5 November 1951 <ref>[http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/codesmanual/ADMIN_FINANCE/AdminFinanceCh1_Data.htm “Indian Railways – Railway Board “Evolution of Indian Railways” )]; Retrieved 15 Dec 2016</ref>.
The ‘Gwalior-Sipri Section’; the ‘Gwalior-Bhind Section’ and the ‘[[Ujjain-Agar Branch Railway]]’ have apparently all closed.
