One that came back to mind because of something I read a few days ago.
In 2009 I was sent on a work trip to India, and naturally I took the chance to chuck a week's holiday on the end and do some personal travel. I finished this up in Shimla, sadly by coach due to the railway being fully booked.
When wandering around I noticed that the line carried on a bit, to what looked like an abandoned station directly under the ISBT (interstate bus terminal). Had a wander down there (as that is OK in India ) and indeed there was a full station down there. However I've never been able to find anything out about why it was built, when it was built and why it was never used.
It has now been converted into a railway museum with static exhibits on the tracks, but I've attached a couple of pictures of it as it was.
Anyone know more?
