The ‘Bhavnagar Tramway’ was a 2ft 6in/762mm narrow gauge([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]]) railway built by the [[Bhavnagar State]], India. The first section was built in 1926 from [[Bhavnagar]] south to Talaja, and then extended to [[Mahuva]] in 1938. The total length of the tramway was 67.5 miles(109km). The tramway used small 4-8-0 locomotives, later classified as the “T” class. In 1947 the tramway was taken over by the [[Saurashtra Railway]], and later by the Western Railway <ref name=wiki>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhavnagar_Tramway Wikipedia "Bhavnagar Tramway"]; Retrieved 22 Jun 2019</ref>.
