Railways in Agra

Railways in Agra

Agra is of interest to the railway enthusiast, as it has a complicated railway geography as a result of its history. The complications involve a north-south broad gauge line intersecting an east-west broad gauge line. The crossing is around the Hari Parwat area where the east west line passes under the North South line.

As well, a metre gauge line arrives from the west, and another departs for the east. However, the actual junction between these two metre gauge routes is at Achhnera, 27km to the west of Agra Fort.

As a result has quite a few railway station serving different Railways.

* Agra Cantt - North Central Railways
* Raja ki mandi - North Central Railways
* Agra Fort Railway Station - Western Railways
* Agra City
* Idgah Railway Station
* Yamuna Bridge
