Transportation
Gondia railway station is the biggest junction in India, and has heavy passenger and goods traffic. It is an A-Grade station on the Howrah-Mumbai route. The station has seven platforms, each with potable water, tea stalls, benches and waiting sheds. There is also a fruit stall and a bookstall. The station is equipped with A/C waiting rooms for passengers travelling by upper accommodation classes and a waiting hall for passengers travelling by lower accommodation classes.
Gondia is situated on the broad gauge Howrah-Nagpur-Mumbai line. The Gondia–Jabalpur Junction(Madhya Pradesh) section of South East Central Railway runs north-south, along the valley of the Wainganga River. The line was formerly narrow gauge (2 ft 6 in (762 mm)) along its entire length, but the section between Gondia and Balaghat was converted to broad gauge in 2005–2006, connecting Balaghat to India’s national broad gauge network for the first time. Work is underway to convert the Balaghat–Jabalpur section to broad gauge as well.
The great famine of 1878 provided an opportunity for the construction of 150 km long meter gauge link called the Nagpur Chhattisgarh Railway in 1882, connecting Nagpur with Rajnandgaon. Gondia railway station was created when this line started working in December 1888. The scope of BNR was greatly enhanced by a January 23,1902 contract that provided a railway line from Gondia to Jabalpur with branches from Nainpur to Mandla as well as Nainpur to Seoni and Chhindwara. Satpura Express, a narrow gauge train, began service in 1901 by the British Government and completed 100 years of service in 2001. This train held the unique distinction of operating a first class service on narrow gauge track, and it was the world’s fastest narrow gauge train. The first portion of the Gondia-Nainpur section of 73 miles was opened on 13 April 1903. It was further extended to Jabalpur in 1905. Initially, Gondia came under the Nagpur Chhattisgarh railway.
