==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, India|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, India|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.
