'''Tundla Junction''' is an important station in [[Uttar Pradesh]]. It is located on the [[Delhi]]–[[Howrah]] main line 25 km from [[Agra City]]. Tundla is a technical halt for changing drivers and guards for almost all of the trains on the New Delhi–[[Mughalsarai]] / [[Lucknow]] sections. The station was built by the British and remains essentially unchanged. The railway station is a site in itself and takes one back to the pre-independence era.

Tundla Junction is important for the people of Agra and for tourists providing connections to the east of the country, i.e. [[Kolkata]], [[Guwahati]], [[Patna]] etc., and especially to the northern state of [[Uttar Pradesh]].
It has connections to [[Agra Cantonment railway station|Agra Cantonment]], [[Etawah Junction railway station|Etawah]], [[Aligarh Junction railway station|Aligarh Junction]], [[Phaphund railway station|Phaphund]], [[Kanpur Central railway station]] etc.

==History==
* 1972: Electrification from Howrah reaches Tundla.
* 29 December 2002: Konkan Railway conducts a trial run of the Madgaon–Roha Express at 150 km/h (briefly touching 165 km/h at times) using a WDP-4 loco. In December,{{citation needed|date=December 2018}} NR is said to have run trials with a WDP-4 hauling at train at up to 180 km/h on the Ghaziabad–Tundla section.
* 13–21 December 2003: Trials with weak field arrangement for MEMUs on the Tundla–Kanpur section of NCR. With a "dense [[crush load]]" and stopping at all stations, a 4-car MEMU rake could reducee its total running time by 7% with a maximum speed of 90 km/h and 10% with a maximum speed of 100 km/h on the 228 km section, because of the improved acceleration.
