Can you imagine a railway station without a name? The obvious question one will ask is that how will people identify it and how will they know they have to get down there if the signboard at the railway station displays no name. Well, it may sound weird, but it is what it is. There's an Indian railway station located in the Bardhaman district of West Bengal, that doesn't have a name since 2008, the year when the station came into existence.
There are more than 7,000 railway stations in India, however, out of all of them only one of them remains unnamed. What explains it? Well, apparently the railway station has no name, because of an ongoing dispute between two villages over the jurisdiction of the railway station area. These two villages are Raina and Rainagar villages that fall on the Bankura-Masagram railway line.
It's not like the station never had a name, as its old name was 'Rainagar'. However, locals of Raina village protested against it and at present the decision pertaining to the naming of the railway station is sub judice.

That train is Bankura-Masagram. Funnily, sometimes passengers who get down from the train have to ask personnel on the station to find out where they have arrived. What station master at the rail.
