About Ahmedabad railway station in Kalupur, Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad Junction railway station is the main railway station of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. It is also the biggest and busiest railway station within Gujarat. It is the second-highest income generating division in Western Railways after the Mumbai Division.HistoryBefore the partition of India, the Sindh Mail used to travel to Hyderabad, Sindh via the Hyderabad – Mirpur Khas – Khokhrapar – Munabao – Barmer – Luni – Jodhpur – Pali – Marwar – Palanpur – Ahmedabad route. It was constructed by Gokuldas Contractor and Associates.On the north side, as the train enters the station, are the two tallest minarets in Ahmedabad. All traces of their mosque and the memory of its name and date are gone. The style and material of the minarets point to the close of Mahmud Begada's reign (1511), or perhaps rather later. Though much damaged, especially near the foot, the stairs inside the minarets may still be used
