How to interpret this infobox

The Ludhiana-Dhuri-Jakhal Railway was a broad gauge(BG) line that provided a "cut-off" between the important junction of Ludhiana and Jakhal, on the Southern Punjab route to Delhi.

The line opened in 1901 and was managed, maintained and worked by North Western Railway (NWR) under an Agreement with the Princely Maler Kotla State Durbar and the Jhind State Durbars. [1]
