Moradabad railway station is located in Moradabad district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh and serves Moradabad which is namesake for its Brassware Industries. Moradabad is major railway station of Western Uttar Pradesh and located just 167 kilometres (104 mi) from National Capital New Delhi, Moradabad also has the divisional headquarters of Northern Railway. It lies on Lucknow–Moradabad line Moradabad-Ambala line and Delhi–Moradabad line. Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Garib Rath Express, Double Decker Express and many Super Fast Express trains pass through and stop at Moradabad junction.
After connecting Varanasi with Lucknow, the Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway started working west of Lucknow and it reached Bareilly in 1873. A line connecting Moradabad to Chandausi was also built in 1872 and it was continued up to Bareilly in 1873. The Bareilly-Moradabad chord was completed in 1894. The former main line became Chandausi Loop and the one via Rampur became main line. It was extended to Shahranpur in 1886. A branch line to Aligarh via Chandausi was opened in 1894. Moradabad was linked to Ghazabad in 1900.
Electrification of the 636 km (395 mi) long Mughasarai-Moradabad line was completed in 2013. Many trains on the Ambala and Lucknow line run with electric locomotives (including Freight trains). Electrification of the Delhi-Moradabad line was completed in 2015. Being one of the important sections of the Northern Railways, Indian railway gave this project a high priority.
