Indian Railway is full of many features. Some things seem very interesting and interesting because we don't know about them. Many times Indian Railways uses some signs, symbols, symbols. While traveling by train, you must have come across many railway stations which have the word road written after their name. Some railway stations do not have this word behind their names. So we often wonder what is the purpose of writing the word road behind the railway station, it seems to be a common thing. But there is a great meaning behind this.
Distance from main city
Animesh Kumar Sinha, a senior official of Indian Railways, gave information about this. He said that if the railway station is at some distance from the main city, the word road is added after the name of the railway station. It means that from this railway station you have to use the road to reach the main city, explained Sinha.
Distance from 3 to 100 kilometers
According to a railway official, the railway station behind which road is written is at a distance of 3 to 100 km from the main city. Kodaikanal Road station is about 80 km from the main city. While Vasai Road station is about 3 km away from the main city. Ranchi Road Railway Station is about 49 km from Ranchi city and Hazaribagh Railway Station is about 66 km from the main station.
Why so far from the city?
The country has a large network of railways. If you want to go far, train is a cheaper option. But it was not possible to lay a railway line very close to every city. So this railway station was built at some distance from this city. Therefore, to avoid mountains, valleys, or increased costs, a place that is easy for everyone was chosen. These stations have been constructed nearby to avoid any inconvenience to the passengers of that city.
