📍 About this Locality

Bhusawal is one of the most important railway junction towns in Bharat — a major interchange on the Central Railway network where the Mumbai-Nagpur-Howrah main line meets the Bhusawal-Khandwa line connecting to Madhya Pradesh. The Central Railway's Bhusawal Division headquarters makes this a town whose identity and economy are fundamentally shaped by the railways — a significant portion of the population works for or depends on the Indian Railways.

The town has the character of a classic Indian railway colony — with railway quarters, a railway hospital, railway schools and the social infrastructure that Indian Railways has historically provided its workforce. The Bhusawal thermal power station is another major employer in the area.
