Dwarka lies on the Jamnagar-Okha metre gauge line which was opened for traffic in 1922 by Jamnagar & Dwaraka Railway.[5] Later Jamnagar & Dwaraka Railway was merged into Saurashtra Railway in April 1948.[6] Later it was undertaken by Western Railway. Gauge conversion of the Hapa-Okha section was later completed in 1984 by Indian Railways.[7]

gollark: 5G is overhyped, I don't want a high res screen which will drain the battery fast, I don't really photograph stuff, etc.
gollark: I have some random £120 Android phone because I really only need calls, texts, a terminal (for SSH and stuff) and a working web browser.
gollark: That makes no sense, you're still limited by your actual connection. The best you can do is get around ISP traffic management.
