Originally the tramway between Dabhoi and Miyagam was too light for locomotives and from 1863 to 1873 bullocks hauled the good trains at 3 miles an hour. The passenger trains went somewhat faster being hauled by "trotting bullocks". From the short haul of 33 kms from Miyagam Karjan to Dabhoi junction, the Gaekwad's little lines spread out in five directions to cover 359 kms... (Tushar Dhake)

I think there is a photograph of this actual "Bullock cart train" somewhere. VSP cannot object to the use of the term here.
