Old Jammu Station
Before the building of Jammu Tawi station, there was an old station which had train services to Sialkot Junction, (now in Pakistan) before partition. The 27 mile line has not been revived till now because of the Kashmir dispute. In 2000, much of that railway station was demolished to make way for an art centre.
