Unlike most railway stations, the building of Patiala railway station is perpendicular to the rail line from Rajpura. It is said that Maharaja built the railway station in the perpendicular orientation as he had hoped that one day the Ambala–Ludhiana would be diverted via Patiala, but that never happened. One reason was the trains would have to pay the taxes levied by the Pepsu state.
Overviewedit
