Garhi Harsaru Junction railway station is a small railway station in Gurgaon district, Haryana. Its code is GHH. It serves Garhi Harsaru town. The station consists of 2 platforms. The platform is not well sheltered. It lacks many facilities including water and sanitation.[1]
Garhi Harsaru is a main junction in Gurgaon district due to its proximity to Manesar. A branch line towards Farrukhnagar was laid in 1901 on Rajputana-Malwa Railway. For many years, the metre gauge railway line was used to transport salt by steam engines and was closed in 2004 for gauge conversion. The converted broad gauge track became operational in 2011. There has been a demand to extend the track to Jhajjar where it will join Rewari-Jhajjar-Rohtak railway line.[2]
Garhi Harsaru is also a large inland container depot and serves as a hub for transshipment of containers from and to Mumbai Port and seaports on the west coast of India in Gujarat.[3][4][5]
