    Good station with nice atmosphere albeit having no seating facilities. People should also keep it clean and tidy. Plus, current train fascilities are just 5 in UP and 5 in DN, with one of them originating from here towards Karachi, while one has a major stop here aswell (also towards Karachi/Peshawar). Three others running between Quetta and Lahore, Quetta and Karachi, and Quetta and Peshawar have 10 mins morning and evening stops.

    The main building of railway station of Jacobabad town was constructed in the year 1886. This monumental building was constructed following the spread of railway network in the area. This was the part of mega project of connecting Rohrri with Quetta through rail road. It developed in various phases. In 1906, Jacobabad station was upgraded as Junction station and was connected with Larkana via Usta Muhammad, Garrhi Khairo and Shahdad Kot. And finally it was connected with Kashmore in 1940 through a small gauge line. It is associated with a number of other buildings, constructed during the same period or little afterwards. The station comprises over 3 platforms, a Loco Shed and a large number of offices. The Loco Shed building was ransacked during December 27 (2007), riots. Jacobabad railway station's historical significance increased, when leader of the nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah landed on one of its platforms, after traveling a long way from India, way back in 1938. It is said that Mr. Jinnah accompanied with his lieutenants, when reached at Jacobabad, was deprived off necessary facilities at station's waiting room by the British administration. Even the furniture was removed from the waiting rooms, forcing Mr. Jinnah to sit on barred floor for some time until his comrades came to receive him. For the accommodation needs of the employers, a very vast colony was established which spreads over a kilometer. Some historical mosques of the time still exist in the area. A big hospital of the same period is operational in the railway colony which is still very much functional, catering to the needs and providing health facilities to the employees and their families. The old bungalows of the colony are very much in use to date and some of them have been converted into offices. At the time of establishment of this colony an independent power generating plant was also installed in its premises to cater to the energy needs of the residents. The railway station and the buildings constructed more than a century and a half need proper attention as far as their preservation is concerned. More over, in view of the visit of leader of the nation Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah to this railway station, it qualifies to be declared as a national monument.
