Dabhoi Junction railway station (station code: DB) is the main junction railway station in the Indian city of Dabhoi in Vadodara district, Gujarat, India. It falls under Western Railway's Vadodara railway division.

History

Dabhoi Junction railway station is at a distance of about 36 km from Vadodara. The station is about 150 years old and was once the largest narrow-gauge railway station in Asia. Although few narrow-gauge lines remain in India, because most have been converted to broad gauge, this is one of the remaining unchanged lines. Steam-powered trains for Miyagam Karjan, Chandod, Vadodara, etc., operate here.

There is little option for breakfast or lunch, since the station has only one tea/coffee stall. There is nothing to see except the oldest sheds and benches at the platform.
