Etah railway station is on the Barhan–Etah branch line. It is located in Etah district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. This Railway Station comes under the Agra Railway Division , It serves Etah and the surrounding areas.
Trains started running on the Howrah–Delhi main line of East Indian Railway Company in 1865–66. After independence, Etah railway station was established in 1949 by the State Railways minister Mr. Rohanlal Chaturvedi! Etah railway station was inaugurated by the first President of India Dr Rajendra Prasad. After this time passed but the railway resources remained there. From 2000 onwards, the demand for railway line expansion started gaining momentum, which became the major demand of every section since 2005. All the movements took place from Etah to the capital Delhi. How many memoranda and signatures have been sent to the President Prime Minister and the Ministry of Railways, but till now the railway line expansion remains the hope.
Train
Etah - Tundla passenger train started. Which used to take two rounds daily. After that, for the first time in 2019, the Etah-Agra Fort train ran. Which was closed after just 6 months. The Etah-Tundla passenger was also discontinued at lockdown. But now this train has started in 2021 again. It is a matter of happiness that Etah - Agra Fort has also started running again. But sadly, despite Etah being a district, the station here is small with not many trains available. Only two trains run. There are no long distance trains.
