Railway station in Madhya Pradesh From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barwaha railway station is a main railway station in Khargone district, Madhya Pradesh. Its code is BWW. Barwaha railway station was an important station during meter gauge and all trains took halt here because of Omkareshwar, Maheshwar, CISF, and many industrial factories. The station consists of three platforms. The platforms are not well sheltered. It lacks many facilities including water and sanitation.[1] The station is situated on the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) metre gauge Akola–Ratlam rail line, which is undergoing gauge conversion.[2] Once finished, it will provide vital connectivity between Indore with Southern Indian states.
