Charhi railway station is a station on the Koderma–Hazaribagh–Barkakana line in Churchu (community development block), Hazaribagh district, Jharkhand serving Charhi and nearby areas.[1]

Charhi railway station is located at an altitude of 453 m above mean sea level. Hazaribagh Town is 27 km and Barkakana is 30 km from Charhi.[2]

As of 2019, the Koderma–Hazaribagh–Barkakana Passenger stops four times daily at this station (two each way – UP and DOWN).[3]

While the 80 km long Koderma–Hazaribagh line was commissioned in 2015, the 57-km long Hazaribagh–Barkakana section was opened in 2016. Work is in progress on the Barkakana–Ranchi sector. The state government is bearing half of the project cost. As the line passes through a coal mining belt it will carry a lot of coal, in addition to passenger traffic.[4]
