The Tapi Valley Railway was originally constructed by Killick Nixon Co. and taken over by 'the former B.B. and C.I. Railway, on 31 April 1942. Section from Udha to Vyara was constructed in 1898, from Vyara to Nandurbar in 1899 and from Nandurbar to Jalgaon in 1900. Track is laid with 75 lbs. R. rail on CST 9 sleepers with the density of N. plus 2. The entire line is ballasted with stone ballast. Maximum ruling; gradient on this section is 1 in 200 and the sharpest curve is of 1,910 feet radius. The terrain from where the line is passing is a flat one, it being taken generally parallel to the Tapi river. The entire line is broad gauge with single line up to Jalgaon. There are two important bridges on this line in the district, one near mile 157 on the Bori river and another near mile 186 on the Girna river. Length of the former is about 60' and that of the latter about 170'.[1]
