The Union government has provided Rs.1.5 bn for the development of Akola railway station in Maharashtra. A proposal for a further Rs.7.2 bn has been sent to the Central Government for the beautification of the railway station. As part of the beautification, the diesel engine of the now non-operational Shakuntala Express, which was started in 1911 on narrow gauge in Vidarbha, has been turned into a museum and kept at the railway station for public viewing.
