Total length of Bilimora–Waghai section is 63 km.[2]

The 63-km Bilimora–Waghai track was laid by the British at the instance of the Sayajirao Gaekwad in 1913. It was a part of Gaekwad's Baroda State Railway, the railway line owned by the Princely State of Baroda which was ruled by the Gaekwad dynasty. The main intention was to keep their connection with the royal state. The Gaekwad rulers also used this train for transportation of precious teak wood from forests. After independence of India, Gaekwad's Baroda State Railway was merged and became a part of Western Railway.[3]

In December 2020, Railway Board decided to close 11 sections including Bilimora–Waghai section permanently. BJP MLA from Dang, Vijay Patel, Congress MLA of Vansda, Anant Patel and Bipin bhai, a social worker of Waghai, started a movement to restart the train services for tribals. Anant Patel also started a relay of protest at each of the railway stations on the route.[4][5]

Minister of State for Railways and Textiles, Darshana Jardosh announced the resumption of the narrow gauge train service between Bilimora and Waghai. Bilimora–Waghai narrow gauge heritage train service was started with air-conditioned tourist coach from 4 September 2021.[6][7][8]
