Chheoki is at a distance of 10&nbsp;km from Prayagraj Junction on the [[Howrah–Delhi main line]]. Trains that bypass Prayagraj Junction and which come from [[Jabalpur]] and go towards [[Mughalsarai]] usually stop at Chheoki. To reduce the load on the main junction, trains were shifted to Chheoki.<ref name="IndiaRail">{{cite web| url=https://indiarailinfo.com/departures/chheoki-junction-allahabad-coi/3085| title=COI/Cheoki Junction| website=India Rail Info}}</ref> Chheoki has three platforms that are high-level platforms and one UTS.<ref name="IndiaTV">{{Cite news |title=4 railway stations in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj get new names |url=https://www.indiatvnews.com/news/india/uttar-pradesh-railway-stations-prayagraj-allahabad-590982 |work=India TV }}</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The station was constructed to decongest Prayagraj Junction and provide a separate route for trains to southern India and Jabalpur which originate from eastern India and Mughalsarai. A delay of more than 30 minutes for an engine change at Prayagraj is thus avoided. This allows trains on the [[Howrah–Delhi main line|New Delhi–Howrah route]] to run punctually since scarce platform space at Prayagraj Junction is freed up.<br />
<br />
==Amenities==<br />
The station is a B-class station and part of [[North Central Railways]] under the [[Allahabad railway division]].<br />
<br />
Some popular trains that stop at Chheoki are [[Bhagmati Express]], [[Khwaja Garib Nawaz Madar–Kolkata Express]], [[Bhagalpur–Ajmer Express]], [[Chambal Express]], [[Mahanagari Express]], [[Shipra Express]], [[Sanghamithra Express]] [[Tapti Ganga Express]], [[Howrah–Mumbai Mail]] and [[Pune–Danapur Superfast Express]], [[Bhagalpur]] [[Antyodaya Express]], [[Humsafar Express]], and [[Mahamana Express]]. Trains plying between [[Manikpur, Uttar Pradesh|Manikpur]]–[[Jabalpur]]–[[Itarsi]], [[Manikpur, Uttar Pradesh|Manikpur]]–[[Jhansi]]–[[Gwalior]], [[Manikpur, Uttar Pradesh|Manikpur]]–[[Katni]]–[[Bhopal]]–[[Indore]] and [[Manikpur, Uttar Pradesh|Manikpur]]–[[Nagpur]]–[[Gondia]]–[[Secunderabad]]–[[Yesvantpur]] transit through Cheoki.<br />
<br />
The station currently lacks facilities like porters, however efforts are being made to convert the station to a satellite hub with better passenger amenities since several trains to southern India transit through this station.<ref name="IndiaTV"/><ref name="India Today"/><br />
