By 1865, the [[Bombay]]-Surat-Baroda-[[Ahmedabad]] route was complete; in 1867, the [[Virar]]-Bombay Backbay suburban service commenced with one train in each direction each day. In 1871, trackage was 300. In 1901, the [[Indian Midland Railway]] was merged into the BBCIR and on 31 December 1905, ownership of the BBCIR passed to the Government of India (GoI).
