It was a metre gauge([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) line of 54 miles (96km)<ref>[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 184]; Retrieved 18 Dec 2015</ref>
The line was worked as part of the [[Bhavnagar-Gondal-Junagad-Porbandar Railway]](BGJPR) system until 1911. Later, when the line was extended westwards to [[Dwarka]] and [[Port Okha]] on the [[Gulf of Cutch]], the system was renamed the '''[[Jamnagar and Dwarka Railway]]'''(J&DR).
