Which Indian state has just one railway station? Not Sikkim, Tripura, Jammu and Kashmir, the state is… station is… The Bairabi railway station, where the Indian railway line ends in the northeast, is the sole railway station in Mizoram. Advertisement Representational Image/AI-generated. Bairabi Railway Station: The Indian Railways, one of the world's largest railway networks, manages and operates a staggering 7,461 railway stations across the country, with Uttar Pradesh having a whopping 1,173 train stations, the highest in India, followed by Maharashtra (689), Bihar (768), Madhya Pradesh (550), and Gujarat (509). But did you know that there is a small state in the northeast which has just one railway station? Which Indian state has just one railway station? Mizoram, the tiny northeastern state of Mizoram, which effectively stands at the end of India's border in the northeast, is the only state in the country which is served by a single railway station. The Bairabi railway station, where the Indian railway line ends in the northeast, is the sole railway station in Mizoram. Advertisement === The Bairabi railway station, with the station code BHRB, consists of three platforms, and serves the entire 1.25 million (12.25 lakh) population of the state. The station, which is located in the Kolasib district of Mizoram, is one of the railheads of the state, and is connected with 84.25 km long broad-gauge railway line, which connects the Katakhal Junction to Bairabi. The railway line was completed in March 2016. Advertisement === The tiny station, located 90 kms from Mizoram capital Aizawl, features four train tracks, and was given a facelift in 2016, that added modern amenities to the vital establishment. What is the Bairabi-Sarang railway line plan? Notably, the Indian Railways plans to build a new railway line from Bairabi to Sairang, that aims to connect Aizawl to rest of the national railway network, however, Mizoram's hilly terrain makes railway construction a challenging endeavor, hence the limited rail connectivity in the remote state. The proposed 51 km-long railway line from Bairabi station to Sairang railway station near Aizawl will be built at an estimated cost of Rs 2,384 crore. Mizoram is the only state in India with a single railway station.
