History

[edit]
station platform

Dabhoi Junction railway station is at a distance of about 36 km from Vadodara. The station is about 161 years old and was once the largest narrow-gauge railway station in Asia. Although few narrow-gauge lines remain in India, because most have been converted to broad gauge, this is one of the remaining unchanged lines. Steam-powered trains for Miyagam Karjan, Chandod, Vadodara operate here.

The station was rebuilt in 2020. A new structure with three tracks and a modern underground platform has been built.
