Narrow Gauage Trains in Gujarat

sb_amd_us · Jun 6th, 2008, 06:59

Any idea about the NG trains in Gujarat? I like to know about the ones which runs in 'Saurashtra' area...Kunkavav Junction, Bagsara etc.... I, like many of you, love to travel on Indian railways and NG can be a real treat...sort of stepping back into the history. I can not find any info. about NG trains on Indian Railways websites. I wonder where Steven gets all his info. on Indian Railways!

The latest map of the Western Zone railways indiates that there is no NG trains in Saurashtra region. I find Kunkavav Jn station on Dhasa-Khijadiya-Jetalsar-Wansjaliya MG line in the Western Zone Railway Time Table. There are, however, some NG trains in Anand, Nadiad, Bharuch, Rajpipala sections in mid-Gujarat.

How can I find out more details about MG trains in Suarashtra regions there? I would like to try out MG train then as I do want to travel to Kunkavav Jn(My grandparents lived there and we still have a home there)by train someday.

MG trains still run from Ahmedabad - Botad, Dhasa - Wansalijya (as above), Khijadiya - Veraval, Talala - Delvada/Kodinar, Visavadar - Junagadh (although this section has been closed for a while due to a bridge washout).

Thanks Anorak,
Any idea how do I book them or find more info. about them?

They are all second class only, so you can't book. You'll need a Western Zone timetable for all the details.
