The following year, the Igatpuri – Bhusawal section was opened on October 1. By 1866, the Bhusawal – Khandwa Section was opened and in 1867, the Bhusawal – Badnera section became active as single line.

In 1920, the Bhusawal division was formed under the Great Indian Peninsula Railway (GIPR) and within the next two years, the doubling of the Bhusawal - Badnera section was completed.[2]

Eventually, Bhusawal become part of the Central Railway Zone in 1951 and in 1962, the Central Railway Zonal Training School setup at Bhusawal. Electrification with 25 KV AC Traction was completed for the Igatpuri – Bhusawal section in 1969 and by 1972, Bhusawal Electric Loco shed started functioning. The Bhusawal-Badnera Section was electrified with 25 kV AC traction in 1990 and the Bhusawal Khandwa Section was electrified in 1992.
