Old Jammu Station
Before the building of Jammu Tawi station, there was a station which had train services to Sialkot Junction before partition. The 27 mile Jammu-Sialkot line has not been revived because of the Kashmir dispute. In 2000 to the consternation of many the railway station was demolished to make way for an art centre.
