History
Dabhoi Junction railway station is at a distance of about 36 km from Vadodara. The station is about 150 years old and was once the largest narrow-gauge railway station in Asia. Although few narrow-gauge lines remain in India, because most have been converted to broad gauge, this is one of the remaining unchanged lines. Steam-powered trains for Miyagam Karjan, Chandod, Vadodara, etc., operate here.
There is little option for breakfast or lunch, since the station has only one tea/coffee stall. There is nothing to see except the oldest sheds and benches at the platform.
