History

During British Rule, Bina Junction was opened as Etawah Junction. At that time, the main line of the Agra to Bhopal Route was constructed. Bina station was constructed to transport bricks and rail rocks; in Malgadi, they are transported to an area near Jhansi, BhopalIi railway, and to railways in Goonah and Ashoknagar.

The main station had been constructed by 1923 when the Katni to Bina line was built. An older railway station in Bina was abandoned between 1930 and 1935.

The name of Bina City and Bina station was changed to Bina and Etawah junction to Bina junction railway station by 1905, to avoid confusion with the city of Etawah in Uttar Pradesh.
