Why was this Indian train station abandoned for 42 years?
Begunkodar Railway Station in West Bengal remained closed to passenger services for 42 years, from 1967 to 2009. While rumors of paranormal activity circulated after a staff death and a reported apparition, railway authorities never officially cited these as reasons. The prolonged closure was attributed to administrative issues, rural neglect, and staffing reluctance, with the station eventually reopening after reassessment.
