There was a time when rail was considered to be an object of fear when British first laid down the tracks and labors toiled greatly to serve them in the construction of tracks. No body knew then that this is going to be the greatest achievement of human being to give a nation a chance to come on a single platform leaving behind all the irrational dividing factors. Now, things are even more simplified. Now, one can get the tickets book online with the comfort zone of his home. Gone are the days when there used to be long queues in front of ticket booking counters at railway stations or railway kiosks. You can chose to go any place for that matter like taking train to Bhopal.
Bhopal is considered to be a mix of history and modernity. Here, youth and olds represent a fusion like no other place. Bhopal is a major hub and exchange railway station for the Central and Western Railway networks. Train to Bhopal could take you to either of the two main railway stations. One is Bhopal Railway Station in old Bhopal and the other is Habibgunj Railway Station in New Bhopal. That in itself shows how things are planned in Bhopal and how people have molded themselves to its environment.
