The Maharaja Sir Vijaysinhji was responsible for the construction work of the 40 mile (64km) line [1] between Jhagadia (on the Rajpipla-Ankleshwar RSR line) and Netrang. The branch was completed by the year 1932, increasing the Rajpipla State railway network to 59 miles(94km) [2].
He also seperately is reported to have set up a 19-mile (31 kilometres) steam railroad and tramway connecting the towns along the river Narmada with villages in the interior, and a power house supplying electricity and water to Rajpipla town [1]. No further information has been found regarding this tramway - it is therefore being listed separately as Rajpipla Tramway
