History

Before the formation of Gandhidham BG railway station by Indian Railways, the Cutch State Railway operated 2 ft 6inch narrow-gauge railway line. A train used to run towards Anjar from the port of Tuna. The railway was financed by the Maharao Khengarji Bawa of Cutch. This started way back in 1905.

The railway line was extended from Anjar to Bhuj in 1908.

The rail line from Varshamedi to Bhachau was opened in 1910. The 15 mile rail line from Anjar to Kandla was started in 1930. Another line was laid from Kandla to Disa in North Gujarat in 1950 by the Indian Railways.
