==History==

Gangauli Halt railway station (GNGL) has a history spanning over 120 years, evolving from a small branch line stop into a modernized electrified halt.

'''Establishment and Early Era (1904)'''

*Opening: The station was officially opened on 21 March 1904.
*Original Operator: It was established by the Bengal and North Western Railway (BNWR) as part of the Aunrihar–Kerakat–Jaunpur route.
*Original Gauge: At its inception, it was a metre-gauge (1,000 mm) line intended to connect major trade hubs in Uttar Pradesh.
*Architecture: The station's structure type is described as At-grade (Indo-Gothic).

==Modernization and Upgrades (2010–2026)==

The station has undergone significant technical transformations in the 21st century:
*Gauge Conversion (2010–2011): The entire line was converted from metre-gauge to broad-gauge (1,676 mm). The station was essentially rebuilt during this period to accommodate the new infrastructure.
*Electrification (2019): The single-line section passing through Gangauli was electrified in 2019, allowing for more efficient electric locomotive-led trains.
*Doubling (2022): A new double electric line was constructed and completed by April 2022, significantly increasing the track capacity for the route.
*Platform Expansion: As of 2026, the station operates with 2 platforms, reflecting its growth from a single-track halt to a double-track station.
