'''Qazigund railway station''' lies on Northern Railway network zone of Indian Railways. It is the main transport hub for the people of Qazigund.

==Location==
The station is situated near [[Qazigund|Qazigund town]] in [[Kulgam district]], [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]].

==History==
{{main|Jammu–Baramulla line}}
The station has been built as part of the [[Jammu–Baramulla line]] megaproject, intending to link the [[Kashmir Valley]] with [[Jammu Tawi]] and the rest of the Indian railway network. On the inauguration day former PM of India, [[Manmohan Singh]] and [[Sonia Gandhi]] enjoyed the 12-minute ride to Qazigund with 100 students, mostly girls, of the Banihal Higher Secondary School, and made the 17.8-km ride back to {{stnlnk|Banihal}}, passing through the [[Pir Panjal Railway Tunnel|tunnel]], the second longest in Asia. Those who accompanied them were Governor [[N.N. Vohra]], Chief Minister [[Omar Abdullah]], Railway Minister [[Mallikarjun Kharge]] and Union Health Minister [[Ghulam Nabi Azad]].<ref>{{cite web| url=http://thehindu.com/news/national/banihalqazigund-rail-link-opened/article4852785.ece/| website=The Hindu| date=27 June 2013| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131205130912/http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/banihalqazigund-rail-link-opened/article4852785.ece| archive-date=5 December 2013| title=Banihal-Qazigund rail link opened| first=K.| last=Balchand| url-status=dead| df=dmy-all}}</ref>

==Reduced Level==
The [[Reduced Level|RL]] of the station is 1671 m above [[mean sea level]].

==Design==
Like every other station in this mega project, this station also features Kashmiri wood [[architecture]], with an intended ambience of a royal court which is designed to complement the local surroundings to the station. Station signage is predominantly in [[Urdu]], English and [[Hindi]].{{citation needed|date=January 2019}}
