Legend is that Barog station is named after British engineer Colonel S Barog, who was working on Kalka Shimla Railway project. He started tunnelling on the both end of the tunnel at the same time but unfortunately the alignment went wrong and the two ends would not ever meet. Colonel Barog committed suicide after shooting down his favourite dog. His Grave still exist near the northern face of the unsuccessful tunnel about a mile up the existing station.
The longest tunnel with the length of 1143.61 metre is situated just near the Barog station towards Kalka and after the Uphill journey the trains runs down the hill from Barog towards Solan.
