'''Daund Junction railway station''' is a railway junction station on the [[Mumbai]]–[[Chennai]] route of [[Indian Railways]] located in Pune district, [[Maharashtra]], India. The Daund–Manmad line and the Daund–Baramati branch line start from here. [[Daund]] is a major freight redistribution hub.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The Pune–Raichur sector of the Mumbai–Chennai line was opened in stages: the portion from Pune to Barshi Road was opened in 1859, from Barshi Road to Mohol in 1860 and from Mohol to Solapur also in 1860. Work on the line from Solapur southwards began in 1865, and the line was extended to Raichur in 1871.<ref name="IR History: Early Days – II">{{cite web | url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-history2.html | title = IR History: Early Days – II | last = Chronology of railways in India, Part 2 (1870–1899)| publisher= IRFCA| access-date= 3 December 2013}}</ref><br />
<br />
Daund station was established in 1858 or 1859, the Daund-Baramati metre-gauge track was constructed in 1906. Daund became a junction after the broad-gauge Daund-Manmad track was built. Daund got connected to Srigonda by road when in 1928 the bridge over river Bhima was constructed.<br />
<br />
Before establishment of {{rws|Daund Chord Line}}, trains from Pune, Goa, Hubli, etc, and going to Delhi, Howrah, etc had to get their engines reversed in opposite direction at Daund Junction, which was a very time-consuming process. To avoid this problem, a new station for halting such trains was established in 2020, named Daund Chord Line. Since then, trains running on above routes halt at Daund Chord Line, bypassing Daund Junction.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180331035936/http://www.cr.indianrailways.gov.in/cris//uploads/files/1493199870796-ConstructionProjects310317.pdf]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://indiarailinfo.com/blog/post/2027002/11|title=2027002-11: This new line|first=Yasin|last=M|publisher=India Rail Info|access-date=6 April 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/pune-news/daund-chord-line-which-will-reduce-rail-travel-time-by-45-minutes-to-be-operational-by-next-week/story-xmjnAXx0MJmnYeRbusn3LP.html|title=Daund chord line, which will reduce rail travel time by 45 minutes, to be operational by next week|date=15 September 2019|website=Hindustan Times}}</ref><br />
