The '''Gaekwar's Baroda State Railway'''(GBSR) was formed in c.1920. The Gaekwars of the [[Princely states|Princely ]][[Baroda State]] were responsible for building several metre and narrow gauge lines in and around [[Baroda State]] and the eastern [[Gujerat]]. Several of these lines were merged to form the '''Gaekwar's Baroda State Railway'''(GBSR).

==Origins of GBSR==The origin was 2ft 6in/762mm narrow gauge([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]]) railway network, known as the '''[[Gaekwar's Dabhoi Railway]]''', the name of the ox-commenced with an oxen driven line between [[Dabhoi]] and Miyagam Karjan, a distance of 20 miles(33km) and that first opened in 1862. The rails were inadequate for steam locomotives andthe upgraded railway was reopened to traffic in 1873. The network expanded and by 1909 Dabhoi had become an NG railway junction, it had become the centre where the lines from Miyagam, Chandod , Bodeli and Baroda converged with a line length of 92 miles(147km). By the early 1919 the NG network had expanded to 187 miles(299km).

The line was a 2ft 6in/762mm narrow gauge(See '''[[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NGGaekwar's Dabhoi Railway]]) with rails weighing 13 lbs to a yard ''' for details and a pair of oxen used to haul trains composed of 4-6 vehicles.references

In 1863, steam locomotives proved to be too heavy for the rails. During the reign == Development of Malharrao in 1871, the old rails were removed and new rail 30 lbs to a yard were laid.  The Miyagam-Dabhoi line was reopened for traffic on 8.4.1873 and renamed the '''Gaekwar's Baroda Railway'''.
