Near MoghuL Sarai there is a station named Dildarnagar, where you have to change to a short branch railway and get down at Tarighat, opposite Ghazipur; then you have to cross the Ganga to reach Ghazipur. Three stations in Shahabad District are also situated within easy distances from portions of Ghazipur. A branch State line has been constructed from Dildarnagar to Tari-ghat opposite Ghazipur town, and is worked by the East Indian Railway.
