Image42.jpg (52497 bytes) Wankaner is an important station to transfer the table salt from MG lines to BG lines for the rest of the country.  Here is a view of the BG lines, the tank wagon is used to transport water to arid areas on the way while the white sacks of salt can be seen loaded in the box wagons. A few wated split sacks lie on the ground near the first two box wagons.
