'''Rail transport in Madhya Pradesh''' began in the year 1867 when Allahabad–Jabalpur branch line was opened in June 1867. The Etarsi to Jabalpur section was opened on 7 March 1870 by [[GIPR]], linking up with [[East Indian Railway Company|EIR]] track at Jabalpur from Allahabad, and establishing connectivity between Mumbai and Kolkata. In 1903, with the introduction of Delhi-Chennai rail route through the state and [[Bhopal Junction]] railway station, the state got a good rail connectivity.
