The Morbi railway station belongs to Western Railway of Rajkot Division. It is located in Morbi district of Gujarat State. ==History== The Maliya Miyana-Wankaner section was laid as a 2ft6inch (narrow gauge) road side tram way in the year 1890 by Waghji Thakor of Morvi State Railway for the convenience of the people and for transportation of Salt and cloth. Sir Lakhdhiraji Thakor, 〔( "Morvi, The Jadeja Dynasty", Royal Ark )〕 ruled from 1922 to 1948 after the death of Waghji Thakor. Sir Lakhdiraji acted as a ruler, manager, patron and policeman of the state with great authority. Sir Lakhdiraji, like other contemporary rulers of Saurashtra, built roads and a railway network (of seventy miles), connecting Wadhwan and Morbi and the two small ports of Navlakhi and Vavania, for exporting the state's production of salt and cloth. The Morbi railway station combines Indian and European architectural elements. Later all the lines were converted to Metre gauge in 1924 to match the rail lines of Other Princely States. Before railbuses took over on Wankaner-Morvi, there were two-coach trains hauled by YG or YP steam locos (these were the last steam-hauled trains on those routes). Conversion to Broad gauge was completed in the year 2001. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Morbi railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
