Kazipet Junction Railway Station (Warangal)

India / Andhra Pradesh / Warangal

Kazipet is famous for being a major railway junction and locomotive (largely diesel) maintenance division in Andhra Pradesh. This can be seen in the fact that many of the residents are employees of Indian Railways. Kazipet Railway station has a history of more than 100 years. It was started in early 1900s by Nizam Government. It is the hub connecting North and South, East and West India with more than 60 daily trains passing through. The railway junction is located next to a large granite hill (known as bodigutta), which is used to house radio communications, presumably for the railways. The railway station has three platforms. Platforms 2 and 3 are generally for trains towards Hyderabad. Platform 1 is generally used for trains which come from Hyderabad. Kazipet is one of the busiest stations in the South Central Railway. Kazipet is one of the stations(like Secunderabad, Kachiguda, Nampally, Begumpet, etc.) started during Nizam rule.
