  • A major railway junction,quite famous as it was chosen to replicate the location of the early film "Bhowani Junction".My grandfather served on the old GIP Railway from this town and is buried with other relatives in Bhusawal cemetery.The steam loco shed held a major number of locomotives and was well known to those who hold nostalgia for a bygone era.
