Qadian railway station is the station serving the city of Qadian, located in the Gurdaspur district. It is served by the BatalaâÂÂQadian branch line, with a proposed QadianâÂÂBeas Line which was sanctioned back in 2011.
In early 1927, the railway board had approved the QadianâÂÂButari line, a 42-mile long and 5ft 6" wide track. It would run from BatalaâÂÂButari, hence it was called the Batala-Butari project. The railway line had reached Qadian on 14 November 1928. Initially, the plan was to continue building the line to Butari, but it was decided by the railway board to postpone the continuation of the line, and constructed parts of the line were removed.
In March 2021, the first electric train had been commissioned on the BatalaâÂÂQadian line in a trial after the completion of a several-month long project.
