India has long train journeys from one corner of the country to another as well as short journeys which hardly take time.

First of all, let us tell you about the shortest route train in the country. This train travels a distance of only 3 km. The distance between Nagpur to Ajni is just 3 km.

This much is the fare for traveling in this train-

For this journey, people will have to pay Rs 60 for general class and Rs 175 for sleeper class. However, booking sleeper class for a 9 minute journey makes little sense and hence most people travel by general class.
