Its station grew by accumulation in length rather than in breadth, with some rather confused bay platforms at the Amritsar end. The contrasting tidy bay and loop at the far end were the passenger terminus of the Kangra Valley Railway, a 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) line which penetrated into the foothills of the Himalayas."[2]
