“Station Mahotsav” was held at the Mysore and Shivamogga railway stations on Friday to create public awareness on the history of the founding of the railway systems.
The event in Mysuru marked the inauguration of the building on December 1, 1881, and the authorities said that the objective was also to create awareness on its heritage assets like railway stations, system equipment etc.
The Mysore Railway Station was formally inaugurated on December 1st, 1881 and the 86 mile long metre guage project played a crucial role in connecting Bengaluru City and Mysuru. While the work on the entire stretch was completed in February 1882, the station to receive the train was completed a few months earlier.
