editBefore 2004, a narrow-gauge track connecting Latur to Kurduvadi was passing through Osmanabad district. Yedshi was nearest station for Osmanabad which was 18 km away from Osmanabad City. During the gauge conversion from narrow gauge to broad gauge, then Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh decided to change the track alignment and directed towards Osmanabad city and Latur–Kurudvadi broad-gauge route is passed through Osmanabad. In first step broad-gauge track between Latur–Osmanabad was completed and it became functional in 2007. First train arrived at Osmanabad railway station was Mumbai–Osmanabad Express.
