The newly-opened Bhusawal railway museum has managed to preserve both the steam and diesel locomotives of the iconic and now defunct Shakuntala railway line. Other artefacts at the Bhusawal museum next to Bhusawal railway station include British-era furniture, signals, card ticketing ephemera and much more.
Bhusawal junction railway station has a historical significance. It was formally established in 1863 as a part of India’s first railway line, the Great Indian Peninsula Railway (GIPR) Company ten years after the company operated India’s first passenger train between Mumbai and Thane in 1853.
