Yes I am not saying it's related I said sequence on existence of route the KCG Dhone came later after 1910 itself na.. and one more thing about Reconnaissance survey of 1906 I am not aware of it but if that survey was feasible then they would be not demanding Gadag Wadi it will be Koppal Wadi actually the final and exact survey done after 4 years in 1910 and that was between Gadag Wadi as Gadag was junction and existed since from 1882 or 1884 itself on MG track as a famine MG route from Gadag to Hotgi by SMR Railways the same one from Gadag extended towards east to londa and west later towards to HPT by same SMR and GTL BAY HPT I think those where under MSM Railway of Madras on those days..

Regarding KCG Dhone route another story
When Gadag was under UBL division of SCR their was continuous demand for GC from Meter Guage to Broad Guage of Gadag Solapur MG line but Corrupted politicians for Bus lobby was always trying to delay the project and it dragged nearly I think 13 years for GC of 300km and amount was sanctioned but no one was utilising it for GC due to buss lobby politicians pressure and that time some of the amount transfered to Mahbubnagar GC works as both sections were under SCR so that time KCG Dhone /GTL became BG line and This Gadag Solapur line in phases from 1994/1995 upto 2008 it took to be complete BG line...

Thanks for taking the efforts and sharing the information, sir!
You are partly correct. The North-South MG link was in consideration from 1904 itself. While the route was opened fully in 1928, construction started before 1910. KRNT-DHNE section was opened in 1909. PAU-Hingoli was also constructed in parallel and opened in 1912. After that there was a long gap. As I said, the onset of World war 1 and change in British priorities put these projects on the backseat and further construction went on only in bits and pieces. SC-MBNR was delayed by the war and completed in 1916, but the remainder of the link was only completed 12 years later. On the North end...

Another official account of a Hyderabad-Gadag link dating from April, 1913. By this time, the idea of a Wadi-Gadag line seems to have been abandoned to avoid the break of gauge at Wadi, and instead, a Hyderabad-Gadag line was surveyed by the Nizam's State railway.
