New page created(replacing Jamnager Railway), Data added, links checked
The first section of what was originally called the '''[[Jamnagar State Railway]]''' connected [[Jamnagar]] to the [[Bhavnagar-Gondal-Junagad-Porbandar Railway]] at [[Rajkot]] and was opened for traffic in 1897.
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).
The BGJPR administrative coalition was dissolved in 1911 with the constituents going their independent ways. The Jamnager Railway worked its own railway from Rajkot to Jamnager with the [[Junagadh State Railway]] taking over the working of its system from [[Jetslar]] to [[Veravel]] including its branches.
