James Street Railway Station is a railway station located in Secunderabad. The station was built in 1874 and was the second station after Secunderabad station on the Hyderbad-Wadi sector by Nizam State Railways.[2] The station derives it name from erstwhile James Street located adjacent to this station. This street after independence was later renamed as Mahatma Gandhi Road. Other localities such as Rani Gunj and the Hussain Sagar lake are accessible from this station.
