'''Shahpur Patori station''', station code '''SPP''', is a railway station in the [[Sonpur railway division]] of [[East Central Railway zone|East Central Railway]]. Shahpur Patori station is located in [[Shahpur Patori]] [[Community development block in India|block]] in [[Samastipur district]] in the Indian state of [[Bihar]]. This railway station was established in 1901. Earlier, the location of this station was somewhere between Shahpur Undi and Bahadurpur Patori villages. It was relocated to its present place in 1938. An interesting story is there about naming of the station. The dispute arose between the villagers of the two adjoining villages, each wanted to name the station after the name of their villages. Finally, it was settled that the 'Shahpur' word would be taken from the village name Shahpur Undi and 'Patori' name would be taken from the village name Bahadurpur Patori and thus the name 'Shahpur Patori' was given. On those days, the steam engines running on this route used to go at the bank of Baya river for filling water. A special railway track was there for this service. This railway track was passing between the buildings of present-day Bich Bajzar before ultimately reaching at the bank of the Baya river. A well (still existing) with the pulley system was there to uplift the water. The remains of this track could not be found now because it is buried under the earth. But a narrow lane of land passing from station to the bank of the Baya river still belongs to the Indian Railways.<br />
Shahpur Patori railway station has two platforms.<br />
