History
Chhindwara was part of the Satpura narrow gauge lines. It was connected with Nainpur, the focal point of the narrow gauge railway, in 1904. The Chhindwara-Pench Coalfield line came up in 1906-07.[1] [2]
Gauge conversion
The 147 km (91 mi) long Nagpur-Chhindwara section and the 180 km (112 mi) long Chhindwara-Nainpur-Mandla section are amongst the approved gauge conversion projects. These projects are getting delayed because of funds crunch.[3]
Electrification
As of 2012, electrification of the Amla-Chhindwara section is expected to start soon.[4]
