History

The Hyderabad-Godavari Valley Railway was a 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge railway. John Wallace Pringle — who had recently completed surveying routes for the Uganda railway[6] — was appointed as the superintending engineer in 1900. The railway opened in 1900 with a 391 miles (629 km) line from Hyderabad city to Manmad Junction.

Gauge conversion to 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge was completed between Manmad–Nanded/Mudhkhed in 1995. The patch between Mudkhed–Secunderabad remained metre-gauge till it was finally converted by 2003.
