The Little trains of South Gujarat

We start our Gujarat sojourn from the mystic, dense forests of Dang by the slow, little narrow gauge train that run between Waghai and Bilimora. Our Gujarat trip also ended with a visit to other not so well documented Narrow Gauge section between Nadiad and Bhadran.

NG-116-H

Bhadran has an interesting legend to its name. Bhadran got its, as a localite shared with us, from the two temples of Bhadrakali and Ambaji who killed the two cruel brothers Bhadrasur and Aghasur, who once terrorized this region with their cruelty. (Hari

NG-118-H

Very few passengers use this once a day train service from Bhadran. I am sure, this station would have seen better days, being under Gayakwad Narrow Gauge Railway which extended from here to Vaso and later to Baroda. (Harish Kumar)

An almost abandoned station building of Bhadran. There is no active ticket counter or a railway official stationed here. The train crew hold the key to the retiring room where the crew have lunch and rest before the return journey begin. (Naveen)
