किसे पता था, गोरखपुर जंक्शन कमाई के मामले में वाराणसी, कानपुर, लखनऊ से भी आगे होगी. भारतीय रेलवे को 591.9cr कि धन राशि प्रदान कर उत्तर प्रदेश का सबसे अधिक कमाई करने वाला रेलवे स्टेशन और उत्तर प्रदेश का पहला NSG-1 रेलवे स्टेशन होता हैं।।

उम्दा pics.👍 Great Great Great Great Great
Some of the snaps clicked by me on during travel from MLN to BIC in Vistadome coaches. This section comes under North Eastern railway, Lucknow division and It is MG and will never be converted to BG. This section covers the dense forest of Dudhwa and Katarnia Ghat. One can witness many wild animals such as Beer, Deer, Raindeer, Panther,Leopard and many different species of birds. This section reminds the old railway system where loco pilot exchange tokens at every station, Manual crossing gate and every station is surrounded of dense forest. Ghaghra river and Sharda river makes this section even more beautiful. The trains speed in forest is reduced to 30 40kmph so it takes more than 4 hour to cover 107KM.One must travel once on this section as we don't know when Govt can take decision for its GC. In these trains you can witness the best moments.
