History


Rajputana State Railway extended the metre-gauge Delhi–Ajmer line to Ahmedabad in 1881.[1] In 1880, the Government of Bombay addressed His Highness’ Government of Baroda State for the construction of feeder lines in Kadi after the completion of Dabhoi Railway. In Kadi, a network of railway line was spread out. The Government of Bombay and the government of Baroda State, sanctioned the Mehsana–Viramgam line in 1889. The Mehsana–Taranga Hill metre-gauge line was opened for traffic from 1887 to 1909.[citation needed] The Khodiyar–Mahesana sector was converted to 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge in 1995 and the Mahesana–Palanpur section was converted in 1997, which along with the conversion of the Ajmer–Palanpur section, completed the conversion of the entire Jaipur–Ahmedabad line.[2] Viramgam–Mahesana section was re-opened in 2005, after gauge conversion to 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge.[3] Mahesana–Taranga Hill line is under gauge conversion to 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge.[4]
