Trains of South East Central Railway (India)

South East Central Railways is a unit of Indian Railways headquartered in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. It was carved out of two divisions of the South Eastern Railway—the erstwhile Bengal Nagpur Railway and Nagpur—by creating another division. Although no division was added from the Central Railway, the name "South East Central" was adopted, as it lies between the Central Railway and South Eastern Railway zones. Its railway code is SECR and it caters to Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharasthra and a small portion of Orissa. Major junctions include Nagpur, Katni, Anuppur, Champa and Gondia Raipur. A narrow-gauge track enters Jabalpur Station, which is the headquarters of the West Central Railway.
