The '''Bhavnagar State Railway''' (BSR) was formed and built by the [[Princely states|Princely ]][[Bhavnagar State]] as a Metre Gauge([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) line in 1880.
Initially worked by an administrative coalition as the the [[Bhavnagar-Gondal-Junagad-Porbandar Railway]], the BSR operated as an independent system from 1911 under the administation of the Bhavnager Durbar.
