===Railway===
Narkhed and Amravati towns in Maharashtra's orange belt have waited for more than 80 years to be linked by rail. The 140-km track was first sanctioned in 1928 under the British, but stayed on the backburner. The project was revived only in 1993/94 and a budget of Rs 2.84 billion approved.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://businesstoday.intoday.in/story/how-different-things-work/1/18367.html |title = How different things work- Business News}}</ref>

The then Prime Minister [[P.V. Narasimha Rao]] laid the foundation stone. But political activities stalled the project for many more years.

In September 2008, when President [[Pratibha Patil]] inaugurated the [[New Amravati railway station]], it seemed as if the project would be completed soon. Far from it. In November 2009, the Railway Ministry announced the link would be inaugurated in December 2010.

[[Narkhed-Amravati line]] is ready on January 2014. Railways are now available to travel from [[Narkhed]] to [[Bhusaval]]. Morshi's railway station has given the name Morshi railway station. The railway station is 2 km from the centre of the Morshi city.

The [[Amravati]] - [[Chandur Bazar]] - [[Morshi]] - [[Warud]] - [[Narkher]] railway track is electrified. People of Morshi can travel by train to cities like [[Amravati]], [[Akola]], [[Shegaon]], [[Bhusawal]], [[Hingoli]], [[Nanded]], [[Hyderabad]], [[Narkher]], [[Warud]], [[Chandur Bazar]], [[Badnera]], [[Indore]], [[Jaipur]], [[Bhopal]], [[Banglore]]
