==History==
'''1898'''. The first section of the ‘Dhrangadhra Railway’(DR) from [[WadwhanWadhwan]] to [[Dhrangadhra]], 20½ miles(33km) opened <ref name=Admin1918>[https://archive.org/stream/BombayBarodaAndCentralIndiaRailwaySystem/Bombay_Baroda_And_Central_India_Railway_System#page/n178/mode/1up “Administration Report on Railways 1918” page 170 (pdf178) ]; Retrieved 16 May 2020</ref>. <br>There was an interchange at [[WhadwanWadhwan]] to the broad gauge([[Rail_gauge#Broad_Gauge|BG]]) [[Bombay , Baroda and Central India Railway ]](BB&CIR) ‘[[Viramgam-Wadhwan Branch Line]]’ which had opened in 1873. In 1902 this branch line was converted to [[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]] connected at [[WhadwanWadhwan|Whadwan Wadhwan Junction]] the DR directly with the [[BB&CIR]].
'''1898'''. Initially, the DR was worked by the ‘[[Bhavnagar-Gondal-Junagad-Porbandar Railway]]’(BGJPR)
'''1915'''. An application was made for a further extension of the line from [[Halvad]] to [[Malia]].
<br>This caused an appeal by [[Morvi State]] that the line would be prejudicial to their [[Morvi Railway#Morvi Tramway|'Morvi Tramway']] that had been constructed from [[Morvi ]] to [[MaiaMalia]] and served the north-east part of Morvi territory. This tramway to [[Malia)) had been completed by 1910<ref>British Library IOR/V/10/1610 1909-10 TO 1927-28 ‘Report for 1909-10’ </ref>. However this line that had at one time reached Malia had been removed at Malia’s expense back as far as the State line, and finished at Khakhrechi Road <ref name= Page4Para1>British Library IOR/R/2/746 306 Extension of Dhrangadra Railway to Malia Page 4 Paragraph 1 </ref>. The Bombay Government initially decided that Morvi tramway to Malia should be reinstated, but the requested Dhangadhra link to Malia would be preferred. This was to stop a disagreement between Morvi and Dhangadhra. This only caused Dhangadhra and Malia to refuse to assist the Government and Morvi Engineers. Eventually the link was built by Dhangadhra and opened in 1925 <ref name= Page4Para1/> '' see 1925 below''</blockquote>
'''1919'''. The working of the DR transferred to the [[Bombay , Baroda and Central India Railway ]](BB&CIR)
