Dabhoi Junction railway station (station code:- DB) is the main junction railway station in the Indian city of Dabhoi in Vadodara district, Gujarat, India. It falls under Western Railway's Vadodara railway division.[1]
History
[edit]
Dabhoi Junction railway station is at a distance of about 36 km from Vadodara. The station is about 161 years old and was once the largest narrow-gauge railway station in Asia. Although few narrow-gauge lines remain in India, because most have been converted to broad gauge, this is one of the remaining unchanged lines. Steam-powered trains for Miyagam Karjan, Chandod, Vadodara operate here.
The station was rebuilt in 2020. A new structure with three tracks and a modern underground platform has been built.
