This station, which opened in 1874, is located near Agra Fort, in Rawatpara, Agra. There was a spacious, octagonal Tripolia Chowk which existed between the Jama Masjid and the Delhi gate of the Agra Fort. This Tropolia was destroyed in order to create the ‘Agra Fort Railway Station’, which was also the first Railway Station of [[Agra]] and also one of the oldest in the country. It used to be one of the stations in India that had both broad gauge and metre gauge, until the line to Jaipur was converted to broad gauge. <ref>[https://www.touristlink.com/india/agra-fort-railway-station/overview.html Tourist Link ‘Agra Fort Railway Station]; Retrieved 28 Jan 2021</ref>.
