It lies on the main Delhi-Chennai and Delhi-Mumbai line. The station code is JHS. The railway station was built by the British in the late 1880s. After a long survey of three places the current site was selected for the station. The station has a massive fort-like building painted in maroon and off white. The station had three platforms in the beginning. ( Platform One is 2,525 feet (770 m) long making it the fifth longest in the India. It could easily handle two trains at a time (Same are the cases with platforms two and three).)
