<br />
Samnapur was a railway station of the [[Satpura Railway|Satpura]] [[Narrow-gauge railway|narrow gauge]] ({{track gauge|2ft6in}}) railway, today part of [[Nagpur SEC railway division|Nagpur railway division]] of [[South East Central Railway zone|South East Central Railway]] zone. In October 2015 all narrow gauge network in Nagpur division (622&nbsp;km), was closed for [[Track gauge conversion|gauge conversion]], except {{stnlnk|Nagpur}}–[[Nagbhir Junction railway station|Naghbir]] line.<ref>[http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/narrow-gauge-section-closes-from-oct-1-in-satputda-valley-115092000287_1.html Narrow gauge section closes from 1 October in Satputda valley]</ref><ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/Broad-view-on-narrow-gauge-Full-Stop/articleshow/49612922.cms Broad view on narrow gauge.
