Kanpur
Anwarganj is
the
second
largest
railway
station
in Kanpur
District, Uttar
Pradesh,
India.
It
has
three platforms.
It
was
constructed
during
the
British
Raj.
It
has
one
big
clock
on
its
main
building.
It
is
on
the Farrukhabad-Kanpur line.
Until
2006
it
was
a metre
gauge station.
In
2006
Railway
Minister Lalu
Prasad
Yadav reopened
the
line
as
a broad
gauge railway
line
towards
Lucknow.
The
first
station
superintendent
was
Mr.
V.N.
Pandey.
In
2008
a
broad
gauge
line
opened
towards
Mathura
too.
Kanpur
Anwarganj
serves
trains
of Lucknow-Kanpur
Suburban
Railway to
reduce
pressure
on Kanpur
Central.
Around
45
trains
pass
through
the
station. Some
MEMU
trains
start
from
here. Kanpur
Anwarganj
is
now
linked
with
some
new
stations
like
New
Delhi,
Mathura,
Agra,
Jaipur,
Gorakhpur,
Chapra,

etc.
Now
