Location
The station lies in Dahod district, an eastern district of Gujarat that adjoins Madhya Pradesh. The region is largely rural and tribal, and rail connectivity through stations such as Anas provides important links between the small towns and villages of the area and the larger urban centres of Gujarat and central India.
Network and operations
Anas falls on the broad-gauge route that runs through Dahod, part of the trunk corridor connecting western India with the central Indian rail network. The line through this section forms a portion of the Mumbai–Delhi rail axis via Vadodara, Godhra and Ratlam, and is used by both passenger and freight services. As a wayside station, Anas typically handles halts of local passenger and shuttle services rather than long-distance express trains.
Significance
For residents of the surrounding villages, the station offers basic rail access for daily travel, work and trade. Stations of this scale also play a role in moving agricultural produce and labour between rural Dahod and larger junctions such as Dahod and Godhra.
