Visitors can sense this historical connection when walking through the station and meeting locals who hold this legacy in respect.
The station is easy to access on foot, with signage directing travelers to ticket counters, waiting areas, and platforms. Visitors should note that trains may not always run on schedule, so it is helpful to check timetables in advance, especially during peak travel periods.
The station is home to a large locomotive shed housing more than 125 electric engines, including models like the WAP-7 and WAG-9 used on train routes across the country. This makes the facility a significant technical hub for Indian railway operations.
