History

The East Indian Railway, which had established the Howrah-Delhi main line via Allahabad, opened the Allahabad-Jabalpur branch line in June 1867. The Great Indian Peninsula Railway connection reached Jabalpur from Itarsi on 7 March 1870, linking up with the EIR track there from Allahabad, and establishing connectivity between Mumbai and Kolkata.^[1]^[2]

The Jhansi-Manikpur line was opened in 1889 by Indian Midland Railway.^[3]

The Mahoba-Khajuraho branch line was inaugurated in 2008.^[4]

The Allahabad-Bhusawal section is classified as 'B' class where trains can run up to 130 km/h. On the branch lines trains can run up to 100 km/h.^[6]
