The layout with details have been emailed to CM, Chief Secretary Karnataka, Belgaum DC regional commissioner and To Mr. Suresh Angadi MP Belgaum.
Now the same comes exclusively on this blog and the author wants to get feedback on the same. You can leave your feedback on the Comments link.
An alternate railway route to Bangalore was in the thinking from many a years as the present route via Londa takes more time. So one route was suggested via Kittur to Hubli. The Belgaum station in the past year has seen many changes and a few have been also highlighted on this blog.
Now to the plan made by Mr.Satish Kumar.
This is the present layout of the railway station.The Present layout have only 3 main lines for passenger rakes and 3 for Goods buffer and shunting , one new line was recently laid for goods shed where in past it was there for Meter gauge fuel tankers at the southern end.
Now the new one:
The new plan can have New station complex at southern end with more facilities and can become platform number 4.
 | The pit line for passenger raking facility can be build after the railway bridge towards the western side of the station since there is ample space available. Passenger raking is needed for coach cleaning recharging and water filling. |
 | Belgaum map showing the new lines need to be laid down and small truck cum rail corridor at Sambra station with ample railway land available. |
Karnataka railway map with proposed lines needed, the station at Sambra can be renamed as Belgaum junction and the main station as Belgaum city. The line towards Baglakot and Raichur can bifurcate from Sambra station. Belgaum city to Desur can have double line as the new Oil depot and Container freight station is already in operation and can bifurcate towards Dharwad.
 | Present Sambra station (during meter gauge era it had 12 shunting lines and there was line going towards Indal from here.The new proposal that government should consider ,Sambra ( Belgaum junction) with 5 shunting lines , integrated 6 line goods and truck terminal , it will create not only good revenue but also employment opportunity to villagers from Muchhandi and Ashte. Also a new fruit flower and vegetable market can be established here with direct rail transfer from here to Delhi Mumbai and Goa . |
All are requested to give their feedback and based upon the feedback, if need be some changes will be made and the same will be forwarded to the concerned departments.
cum on man u r still planing for railyway station (remember your fav topic save nature at vaccine depot) don’t you think to have a railway station with this kind of grand plan we need to cut trees and replace all the peoples staying near the railway line to make way for trains. also for this kind of plan to become real it will be vision 2020 for BGM
Hi … this is a excellent plan Uday, You are doing great job by publishing this on blog. this change is really needed….

Mr. Ano
On this blog i have already mentioned about http://belgaumblog.blogspot.com/2007/11/nothing-changes-for-railways.html
here.
All the trees have been alreayd cut and the people residing next to the rail laines have been shifted elsewhere. this is for your info.
The plan is very good and fully support this as it is long awaited.
Hi udu dada! I think this is a step towards the right direction. As citizens we should first try to do something rather than just complain why others are not doing it! & Mr.Satish Kumar has gone ahead & taken his first step. Its our duty to now support & encourage. Nice to see such initiatives on ur blog!. Way to go.
-Shr
I have gone through the link and found the following short comings:-
1.The Railway line should pass through Pnat Balekundri,Sambra town (Belgaum Airport), Modga. The preasant Railway line is not much of use.
2.The facilities in the new station complex from goodshed road is not fully mentioned.The least facilities required are
– Tourist&city Information centre
-Forigen exchange fcility
-ATM
-Cyber cafe.
-A Posh resturent.
-Novelty cum necessity stores.
-ANy other facility decided
3.There is no mention of container depot.
4.There is no mention of Arboriculture ,Fountains & land scaping.
Its good to see someone taking the initative for the sake of development in belgaum, keep up the good work.
does any one have any maps or plans of the kapileshwar road railway underbridge that is going to be constructed?
Thankyou Sanjeev for your comments well as suggested by you yes all those fecilites mentiond by you should be made available , as your comment on fo line being of no use if doesnt pass through Sambra or Pant Balekundri , it will pass thrugh from these places because to avoide cost of cutting tunnel the only was is thrugh pass from Kardiguddi and Sutgatti, besides the main purpose of this line is port linkage and also connectine northen karnatak corridors especially Baglkot Gulbrga Raichur and Wadi, there are lot of trucks plying on this route the cemnt belt at Lokapur have all its offices at Belgaum it will also give Belgaum and Goa the Eastern India corridor through Vishakahpattanam and Howrah (Kolkotta) this is the main purpose of line feeder service to Sambra and Pant Nagar are not so effective infact I am from Balekundri so I know this topogrpahy exclusively.
Anyeay your suggestion on feclites are wanted ones.
The container depot is built near Desur and also house the Bulk Oil Depot.
Well I must thank Uday fro composing it and making more presentable over the web.
I believe we Belgaumites are people of latiral thinking we have a bit more than any others can have.
Really nice plan…..even I would like to know any one have any maps or plans of the kapileshwar road railway underbridge that is going to be constructed?
The Idea Of Opening The Railway Station From South Is Great!!
Over 70% of Belgaum Population Lives On The South Side Of The Station.
The Good shed Can Be Sifted On The Out Skirts Of The City.
This Will Be Very Convenient-Save Time, Fuel & Decongest Traffic
Facilities That Sanjiv Talks Of Are Bound To Follow.
Lets Do, All We Can To Make The Authorities Concerned Aware Of The Demand
The survey for new railway lines between Belgaum-Dharwad is in progress

Comment:actully the present station is much good … Its in city. People can afford it ….. Because its near an known to near by area .. Shifting causes , loosing the importance to the station … if u thinking of goods transportation .. Then i prefer u to build it some where else .. Actully the airport , railwys should be situated very close to the city ,,, with in 5 km around city ..
Dear Satish
The plan that you have proposed need some expert analysis . Londa pune doubling line is in progress .There is no train to goa originating from Belgaum or Miraj.There is no news about new lines proposed .I was hurt while getting down from LTT express at the station because of the crowd . Belgaum dharwad new line will reduce travel time.Let us hope more trains originating from Belgaum.
I suggest belgaum to dharwad via mk hubli, belgaum to karad via nipani, belgaum raichur via bagalkot & belgaum to goa via savantwadi rail roots Re required for this belgaum city railway station is not sufficient.sambra railway station has to be upgraded and required land has to be acquired and establish smart railway station at sambra.
Contact of Mr. Satish Kumar please.. I have proposal matching to yours shared during smart city opinion drive conducted on mygov.in
Since The present station lies at cantonment area, It can be named as Belgaum Cantt and Sambra can b named as Belgaum Junction…
Good Proposal???
But only thing is that Belgaum station will no longer have rail traffic, as majority of the traffic will get diverted to sambra
Please give first preference for karad to hubli railway track beside at hayway it will help to passengers and road traffic also now what is going on ok
Karad to hubli railway track beside at hayway it will help to passengers and road traffic also now what is going on ok
The station must have large waiting facility/ seating arrangement for passengers (with AC and protection from sun/rain) , proper washroom (GENTS, LADIES & baby cleaning rooms) , feeding room for babies/mothers & waste disposal facility, proper parking & taxi/bus connectivity with an ease to carry luggage (trolley/lift,etc…)
Plz plz plz plz………..
Make a new railway line between Bijapur – Athani – shedabal (In Karnataka) it will provide to connect with Kolhapur (Maharashtra) – Bijapur and Belgaum – Bijapur connection. Bijapur to shedabal is only just 112 kilometres. In Athani there are 5 sugar factories. This railway line is very very much useful for sugar factories. Athani is biggest taluka in Belgaum district it also useful for peoples.
So plz plz plz plz……..
Do this new railway line
Yes it in the need of the hour!
To the editor and whomsover it may concern,
i would like to express the new route BELAGAVI TO GADAG Via (sambra , nesargi, bailhongal, savadatti, navalgund ,annigeri and gadag) this is an important tourist destination to link between kolhapur, saundatti and (pandarpur) by trunk route miraj all the temples would be connected to sambra jn which is near to airport so that tourister can visit a temple in circular journey , so that the importance of belagavi railway station in (sambra) would go further as A1 station and create many jobs for the localites and as well as creating direct justice to Belagavi Airport as a major tourist hub by generating many touristers that would further extend as International we can take a call for this route
Athani New railway lines project
Plz plz plz plz……

Connection to Vijayapura and towards Konkan from Belgaum and increase trains to Mangaluru and Mumbai and we need direct connection to Hyderabad from Belgaum via Sambra Jamkhnadi Vijayapura Kalburgi and Hyderabad this will consume less time instead of going to Hubli and bring some Railway collges or wheel manufacturing company
In addition a link from Bijapur to Kolhapur via miraj junction can be considered.
CONTAINER STATION IS CLOSED DOWN ITS NOT OPERATIONAL AT DESUR
I think there should be a coach care centre at sambra. and there is need of rail connectivity to dharwad via mk hubli and goa via sawantwadi this will splendidly improve life if people at belgaum and will create more employment opportunities for people of belgaum
Thank you
