History

This route was opened in 1879 by Ahmedabad–Parantij Railway till Prantij and Himmatnagar and later it was extended by two phases, the first phase was Himmatnagar–Idar which was opened at the same year and then in 1901 the second phase was Idar–Khed Bramha was opened and become a total length of Шаблон:Convert from Ahmedabad which was a metre-gauge railway line.[3][4]

In 1886 the survey and construction of Шаблон:Convert long Himmatnagar–Udaipur line which also was a Meter-gauge railway line was started and the rail operations began in 1891 with flagging off Delhi Sarai Rohilla–Ahmedabad Express for direct connecting to Delhi and Udaipur from Ahmedabad via Himmatnagar.[5][6] This line came to be known as Шаблон:Track gauge Metre Gauge Mainline with the other Шаблон:Track gauge Metre Gauge line via Шаблон:Rws Шаблон:Rws,Шаблон:Rws being called as the Chord Line. But in 1997 the other Шаблон:Track gauge Metre Gauge line via Шаблон:Rws Шаблон:Rws,Шаблон:Rws became Шаблон:Track gauge Broad Gauge line & was made as Delhi-Jaipur-Ahmedabad Mainline

Projects

Currently, there is a gauge conversion of the whole mainline with branches by the joint operation of Western Railways and North Western Railways is going on from 1 January 2017.[12] And also the Modasa–Shamlaji rail line with the length of Шаблон:Convert is also going to be constructed which connects the Nadiad–Modasa branch line with the Ahmedabad–Udaipur mainline for shortening the route of Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Rest of Gujarat to North India with direct passenger services.[13]

In this Joint project, the first section of the mainline from the Western Railways zone side gets totally converted into the broad gauge and DEMU trains are also started running on that route from 15 October 2019.[14] The Broad Gauge conversion has been completed as of August 10, 2022 but trains are yet to start.
