Budaun railway station is a main railway station in Badaun district, Uttar Pradesh. Its code is BEM. It serves Budaun city. The station consists of three platforms after guage conversion of bareilly to kaaganj railway line railway station was renovated .[1] The Rohilkund and Kumaon Railway Company started construction and working of a railway line from Bhojeepura to Kathgodam under a contract dated 12 October 1882 This was the main line, 53.92 miles in length sanctioned in 1882 and opened on 12 October 1884. Later on, this line was extended from BareiIly to Soron in 1906. The railway line Kasganj - Soron section was constructed by the Rajputana and Malwa Railways in 1885 when it was constructing the Kanpur - Achnera section. Later on, when the R&KR constructed the Bareilly - Soron line in 1906 the short section Soron - Kasganj was given over to it. The MG extensions from Moradabad to Kashipur, from Kashipur to Ramnagar and Lalkuan to Kashipur were completed by 1908. The railway lines from Pilibhit to Carewganj Karuganj and Shahbaznagar were completed by 1916. Powayan Light Railway,Narrow Guage rail line of a distance of about 40 miles from Shahjahanpur via Khutar and Powayan to Mailani and Shahjhanpur To Farukhabad NG rail line 84 KM opened in 1899 both of which was taken over by the R&KR in 1900 was dismantled in 1915.16 and its materials were carried to the Middle East theatre iraq of the First World War 1914 – 1919. . The Bareilly-Kasganj section, 63.95 miles, was opened in 1906. . The portion from Soron to Kasganj was taken over from the Rajputana Malwa Railway in the same year. Under a contract dated 8 September 1890, the working and completion of the Lucknow–Bareilly state Railway company was transferred to the Company The combined system continued to expand until 1916 when the company's lines had total route mileage of 258.72 and the State lines of 311.16. For years the control of the Rohilkund and Kumaon Railway Including Lucknow– Bareiily Railway, and that of the Bengal and North Western Railway including the Tirhoot Railway, was under single management. This continued till 31 December 1942 when the two company owned systems were acquired by Government, prior to their consolidation into the Oudh and Tirhoot Railways The first section of this tine was opened on 12 October 1884 when Bhojeepura–Kathgodam was connected with Bareilly, a distance of 12 miles. The Lucknow–Bareilly Railway was taken over by the Rohilkund and Kumaon Railway Company in an unfinished state on I January 1891. The Lucknow-Bareilly Section was worked virtually as an integral part of the Rohilkund and Kumaon Railway system. In 1943 January 1, a new tributary emerged and was called Outh & Trihoot Railway (OTR) This was possible when the lines owned by the erstwhile and already merged identity of Bengal and North Western Railway (BNWR) and Rohilkund and Kumaon Railway (RKR) companies were acquired by the State. Together with the Tirhoot State Railway, Mashrak Thawe Extension (formerly managed by BNWR) on behalf of the state and Lucknow Bareilly Railway (formerly managed by RKR) were amalgamated as one State Railway System called the Oudh and Tirhoot Railway. . From Kasganj the Meter guage line took a westerly direction upto Mathura (105 kilometres) from where it went south for 34 kilometres and met at Achnera JN. From Kanpur there was a direct BG route to Agra via Tundla. The construction of MG railway line from Achnera to Kanpur was, therefore, considered important. It was not only to constitute an important feeder to Rajputana– Malwa Railway but was also to serve the thickly populated area inhabiting near Ganga. Rajputana–Malwa railway was made over to BB & CI railways in 1886. Kanpur–Achnera MG section was constructed in phases viz., Kanpur–Farrukhabad, Farrukhabad– Hathras and Hathras–Achnera sections. It was also made over to BB & CI. The old telegraph line upto Fatehgarh was dismantled by the Telegraph Department and a new line was put along the railway line. Every station was connected with this lines. During 1882–83, additional sidings, quarters were constructed. .

Budaun railway station is well connected to Ujhani, Bareilly, Gonda, Soron, Bahraich, Ramnagar, Agra, Pilibhit, Kasganj, Lakhimpur, Sitapur, Gola Gokarannath, Tanakpur etc..[2][3] It is only fitting that one of the existing three divisions of NER, Izzatnagar has been named after them. In addition, the bridge over River Ganga at Allahabad on the Varanasi-Allahabad line is also called the Izat Bridge. The first of the troika Alexandar Izat was the second Agent of BNWR from 1983 to 1904 and it was in this period that the main line of this Railway from Sonepur via Chupra, Siwan, Gorakhpur to Lucknow was laid. The Gonda-Gorakhpur loop and major portion of Chapra- Benaras-Allahabad line was also laid. Lt. Col. W.R. Izat who was the son of A. Izat was the Agent of BNWR from 1920 to I 927. His son Sir J. Ronnie Izat was the Agent of BNWR from 1941 to 1944 and it was in his time that the Oudh Tirhoot Railway came into existence in 1942 and he was the first Agent upto 1944. The father-son-grandson troika saw over the destiny of this Railway for a Period of 131 years which were important years of formation of North Eastern Railway. No wonder the lads are an inseparable part of History of North-Eastern Railway.
