Miraj Junction is a Railway Junction station in the city of Miraj, India. The Pune – Yeshwantpur railway line passes through Miraj where it meets the short Miraj – Kolhapur line. The Miraj Latur section of the Dadar Solapur main line starts at Miraj and passes through towns such as Pandharpur, Kurduvadi, Barshi and Osmanabad before reaching Latur.
By 2008, the entire Miraj Latur line was converted from narrow gauge to broad gauge linking Miraj with Solapur and beyond.
Jaldoot
Due to the draught the Latur city faced since three consecutive years, the summer of 2016 presented itself with extreme scarcity of water. To overcome this issue, a joint project was then requested by Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. After further research, and many changes in plan, Miraj was chosen to transport water to Latur from 342km. The "Jaldoot" train made its first experimental run on 11th April 2016, carrying 10 tanker wagons, each filled with 50,000 litres of water.
