As good as Santa Claus coming to town, is the BROAD GAUGE RAILWAY that’s really coming to town!
Mhow has been a metre-guage station for years and now from 2008, it will finally get a broad guage railway line after a long wait! Leading newspapers state that approval has been given for gauge conversion of the Ratlam-Mhow-Khandwa-Akola line which is 472.64 km long.
Because Mhow was MG( Metre Gauge) we were deemed ‘not connected’ to many of the big junctions making us have to go to Indore, Ratlam, Khandwa etc and change trains to reach destinations like Bombay or Delhi and all. Like, when we come from Bombay to Mhow, we have to get off the train at Indore. Waste time and money reaching Mhow…...What a bane!
Now broad gauge will take us to places like this straight, without having to change trains!
This work of changing MG to BG will take about five years for completion.
