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?

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.
