Mahasamund railway station is the principal station of Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh, India. It is an important station of the Solapur railway division of the East Coast Railway zone.
Mahasamund station is a model station declared in the Rail Budget. It has a computerised reservation counter, parking, a canteen, a cloak room, a waiting hall, a goods shed, and an automatic announcer. An R.P.F. police station is also located in the station. Mahasamund falls under East Coast Railway zone Sambalpur Railway Division so this city lacks some standard facilities.
Dualling of the railway track from Raipur, Mahasamund to Titilagarh is in progress and may be completed in July 2015. The Mahasamund-Arand section is complete. Two new platforms have been sanctioned and construction started. Now Railway Board is decided to generate new Additional Divisional Railway Manager post inn Mahasamund.
