Background
The station was named after the Agra Road, a historic highway alignment that formed part of the long-distance road link between the Bombay Presidency and the city of Agra in northern India. Several settlements along this corridor in Maharashtra developed transport infrastructure during the colonial expansion of railways in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Significance
While the station is no longer in active use, its existence reflects the historical pattern of railway development in Maharashtra, where stations were often established to serve specific roads, market towns, or industrial sidings. Defunct stations such as Agra Road are part of the broader heritage of the Indian Railways network, many of which have been decommissioned due to route realignments, declining traffic, or replacement by larger junctions.
