Sanawad railway station is a small railway station in Khargone district, Madhya Pradesh. Its code is SWD. It serves Sanawad town. The station consists of two platforms, neither well sheltered. It lacks many facilities including water and sanitation.[1][2][failed verification] The station is situated on the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) metre gauge Akola–Ratlam line, which is under gauge conversion. Gauge conversion between Choral to Mhow is not possible due to tricky ghat section of Vindhyachal ranges.
