History
The 11 km (7 mi)-long 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in)-wide metre-gauge Mathura–Vrindaban branch line was opened by Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway in 1889.[2] The Railway Ministry has permanently closed its ambitious project for the conversion of the Mathura-Vrindavan railway line from metre gauge to broad gauge at an estimated cost of Rs 402 crore, terming it "uneconomical".
