Agra is of interest to the railway enthusiast, as it has a complicated railway geography as a result of its history. The complications involve a north-south broad gauge line intersecting an east-west broad gauge line. As well, a metre gauge line arrives from the west, and another departs for the east. However, the actual junction between these two metre gauge routes is at Achhnera, 27km to the west of Agra Fort. |
