Bhogava River Temporary Tramway added
'''[[Madras Tramway Proposals]]'''. Proposals were put forward by the Madras Government in 1857 for ‘experiments for using tramways instead of common roads; these were being carried out in the Madras Territories and may be used in the Punjab’ <ref>British Library IOR/E/4/843 p1238 “Roads, Madras, tramways suggested as substitutes for common roads” </ref>. It would appear that Madras were experiencing similar problems in crossing unstable ground and were developing solutions using temporary tracks.
'''Bhogava River Temporary Tramway''' . In 1869 a proposal to cross the Bhogava River at Limbdi in Kathiawar. The moveable tramway was constructed in 1870. This was probably a stone or wooden tramway for carts to cross the soft sand of the riverbed <ref>British Library IOR/V/10/1384 ‘Indian States Administration Reports Kathiawar 1865- to 1875’ No 12 of 1869 para 75 and No 40 para 47</ref>
