History

The East Indian Railway, which had established the Howrah-Delhi main line via Allahabad, opened the Allahabad-Jabalpur branch line in June 1867. The Great Indian Peninsula Railway connection reached Jabalpur from Itarsi on 7 March 1870, linking up with the EIR track there from Allahabad, and establishing connectivity between Mumbai and Kolkata.^[1]^[2]

The Jhansi-Manikpur line was opened in 1889 by Indian Midland Railway.^[3]

The Mahoba-Khajuraho branch line was inaugurated in 2008.^[4]

Electrification

The 605 km long Naini-Manikpur-Katni-itarsi route and the 479 km long Katni-Singrauli-Garwa Road route have been identified for electrification under Vision 2020 – A Blue print for Railway Electrification Programme.^[5]

Speed limits

The Allahabad-Bhusawal section is classified as 'B' class where trains can run up to 130 km/h. On the branch lines trains can run up to 100 km/h.^[6]

Passenger movement

Allahabad, Satna, Katni and Jabalpur, on the main line are amongst the top hundred booking stations of Indian Railway.^[7]

Loco sheds

Both the Katni Diesel Loco Shed and the New Katni Junction Electric Loco Shed are located at New Katni Junction. The former has WDM-2, WDM-3A, WDG-3A and the only WDG-3C "Cheetah" diesel locomotives. The latter holds 170+ WAG-5 and WAG-7 electric locomotives and has a large marshalling yard attached to it.^[8]
