==History==<br />
<br />
There is a railway gate between [[Navsari]] and [[Dandi, Navsari|Dandi]] on the way to [[Dandi, Navsari|Dandi]]. It is mostly closed due to high traffic. Gandhi Smriti railway station is located right next to it. Gandhi Smriti railway station is associated with Gandhiji's memories. Therefore, it is named as '''"Gandhi Smriti"'''.<br />
<br />
After the [[Salt Marડૃch|Dandi March]] started from [[Sabarmati Ashram]] on 12 March 1930, Gandhiji spent 14 April to 4 May in a hut built under a plum tree in Karadi village near [[Dandi, Navsari|Dandi]]. He now had to travel from Karadi to the salt field of [[Dharasana]]. The British police arrested him from Karadi on 4 May. Gandhiji was brought from Karadi to Hansapore. [[Frontier Mail]] was stopped at 1.30 in the night to take it by train to Mumbai. The surrounding villages had fought in memory of that day and as a result '''"Gandhi Smriti railway station"''' was started on 15 August 1997.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.bhaskar.com/news/GUJ-gandhi-smriti-railway-station-in-history-4547318-PHO.html?sld_seq=1| title=अनोखा रेलवे स्टेशन: जहां गांधीजी के लिए अंग्रेजों ने पहली बार रोकी थी ट्रेन| website=Bhaskar}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.divyabhaskar.co.in/news/DGUJ-SUR-HMU-MAT-latest-jalalpore-news-020502-1466378-NOR.html| title=આજથી 88 વર્ષ પૂર્વે ગાંધીજી કરાડી ગામ ખાતે પધાર્યા હતા| website=Bhaskar}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.divyabhaskar.co.in/news-hf/gandhi-smruti-station-near-navsari-and-relation-of-gandhiji-4861690-PHO.html| title=અનોખું રેલવે સ્ટેશન : અહીં મુસાફરો નહીં પણ જૂની યાદો ટ્રેનની રાહ જુએ છે!| website=Bhaskar}}</ref><br />
