The railway opened in 1900 with a 391 miles (629 km) line from Hyderabad city to Manmad Junction.

Editorial summary

Editorial reviewA valuable geographic starting point for tracing changing names, boundaries, uses and administrative responsibility. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2023, 2018, 2008, 1900—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Hazur, Sahib and Nanded can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as railway station in Nanded, Maharashtra, India. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20717450. Authority coordinates are 19.161, 77.310. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2023, 2018, 2008 and 1900.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
