The Patalpani railway station (station code: PTP) is one of the local railway stations of Indore district near Dr. Ambedkar Nagar (Mhow) town in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The station consists of two platforms. The platforms are not well sheltered.
Patalpani has been connected to Indore and Khandwa by metre-gauge railway lines officially known as Akola-Ratlam line. It is the nearest railway station used for access to Patalpani waterfall, which is a well-known tourist spot near Indore that is prone to flash floods. [1]
Connectivity
The Patalpani is connected with Dr. Ambedkar Nagar railway station (MHOW) to the north-west and Sanawad to the south-east on the Dr. Ambedkar Nagar–Sanawad meter-gauge rail line. The station is well-connected to Indore Jn. via Dr. Ambedkar Nagar, Mhow.
Electrification
At present, the station is on non-electrified rail route.
Developments
In 2008, the Union Cabinet approved the gauge conversion for the Akola-Ratlam line of 472.64 km. The cost of the gauge conversion would be about Rs.1421.25 crore. The conversion of Dr. Ambedkar Nagar to Sanawad (meter-gauge) to (broad-gauge) rail line is in progress. [2] Upon completion, it will directly connect Indore to Mumbai. [3]
The gauge-conversion of Dr. Ambedkar Nagar-Patalpani section is underway, it is expected to be completed by March 2024. [4] [5]
Trains
Currently, only the Patalpani–Kalakund Heritage Train is operating from the station. [6] [7]
