There is also a station in this country full of race, where the distance between the platforms is not just a few meters, but two kilometers. Let us tell you that where is this unique railway station and why is there such a distance between the platforms?
Where is this unique railway station?
This unique railway station of Indian Railways, which has a distance of 2 kilometers between platforms, is built in a town called Barauni village located in Begusarai district of Bihar, which is situated on the banks of river Ganges. Apart from the unique railway station, it is also considered important as an industrial town. This town is known for oil refinery and thermal power plant.
Barauni Junction Railway Station
This unique railway station is known as Barauni Junction, which was built in 1883 as Barauni Junction. At that time the number of platforms at this railway station used to start from one. Trains used to run in different divisions from Barauni Junction. But only goods train used to stand on platform number one. After some time the people there complained, after the complaint of the people it was decided to build another Barauni Junction.
Second station made two kilometers away
After people’s complaint, another Barauni railway station was built two kilometers away from Barauni Junction, the number of platforms at the second station was kept the same. Because of which two stations at a distance of two kilometers at the same place became with the same name.
Now platforms are numbered starting from 2.
When the new Barauni railway station was completed, the platform number one at the old Barauni railway station was removed, since then the number of platforms at the old Barauni railway station starts from number 2. After this more platforms have been made. If seen, this is a very unique railway station, where only one platform number does not exist.
