Balamau station
Balamau is a train station in Hardoi district of Lucknow Division of Uttar Pradesh.[1] It is located in Kachhauna, four miles northeast of its namesake village of Balamau.[2] It lies on the Amritsar-Pt Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Nagar main line, 9km from the previous station at Baghauli and 8km from the next station at Dalelnagar.[1] It is also the terminus of two branch lines, one leading to Kanpur and the other leading to Sitapur.[1] The Balamau-Kanpur and Balamau-Sitapur lines both use metre gauge tracks.[3]
In 1903 a new east-west branch line was built connecting Balamau station to Madhoganj.[2] Around this time, Balamau station was described as having "a considerable trade in grain", with most of it brought by cart from the village of Balamau.[2]
