Krishna was born in Mathura. He spent his childhood in Vrindavan. Therefore, both are major pilgrimage centres for Hindus.[1]
The 11 km (7 mi)-long 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in)-wide metre-gauge Mathura–Vrindaban branch line was opened by Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway in 1889.[2]
Mathura is a major railway junction. The Taj Express travelling from Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station covers the distance up to Mathura in about 2 hours. Bhopal Shatabdi Express (starting from New Delhi railway station), travelling faster, also stops at Mathura. There are five DEMU connections a day between Mathura and Vrindaban.[1][3]
