India's Biggest and Most Popular Railway Stations

BANGALORE: 'The Land of Spices', India, was ruled by the British for nearly 200 years during which the country lost its status as the richest country having the world's largest economy. But one of the gifts they gave this country was railroads. Railroads were primarily introduced to serve the British interests because they needed an easier mode of transportation to shift their goods. Now railways have become the most popularly used form of transportation. The rail network in India is the 4th longest and heavily used transport system as it is cheap, fast and convenient. Here are some of the largest railway stations in that serve the Indian public.

The station was named 'Char Bhag' because of the four gardens that once surrounded it. It has nine platforms and is connected with all the major cities and metros. The station building has a palace like view with a garden and is a mixture of Rajput, Awadi, and Mughal architecture. The aerial view of the building shows that the building is like a chess board and the domes and pillars are like the pieces of the chess game.

8: Hellow everyone... Its Vijaywada junction is the bussiest and biggest junction of india after to chatrapati shivaji terminus....but bussiest than (CHT).. Check wikipedia for more info...i want to share somemore info that u will not get on wikipedia.. It has the largest hals of tracks with both deisiel and electric loco sheds and also wagon shed and streches about 2-3kms after leaving the junction on chennai- delhi, hyderabad lane.. And with about 8 control sub-stations of controling the trafic of trains for their destinations.. So therefore we can imagine that the present vijaywada station about 10 platforms and with 24hrs trafic are not sufficent to handle the traind ... So Hav a look at the damn bussiest junction station of india.
