'''Ballari Junction railway station''', formerly '''Bellary Junction railway station''' (station code: '''BAY''') is a main railway station in [[Ballari district]], [[Karnataka]]. It serves [[Ballari]]. This is one of the oldest railway stations in India, and possibly the second in karnataka, built by the [[British Raj]] more than 150 years ago. The foundation stone for Ballari Junction was laid on 1869. [[Mahatma Gandhi]] visited Ballari and spent about eight hours at the railway station here on 1 October 1921.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ballari, an important ‘station’ in Gandhi's fight|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/amp/nation/current-affairs/120818/ballari-an-important-station-in-gandhis-fight.html|access-date=2020-07-07|website=www.deccanchronicle.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=https://indiarailinfo.com/station/map/ballari-junction-bellary-bay/505| title=BAY/Ballari Junction | website=India Rail Info}}</ref><br />
