History

In 1912, the construction of the railway line was started and it took six years to complete its construction. After the partition of India, ownership of the railway line was transferred to the government of Pakistan, before that it was operated by Assam Bengal Railway.[1] 14 passenger trains run regularly on this railway.[2] Due to lack of maintenance for a long time, this line has become a dangerous railway. At present many stations of this railway line are closed.[3]

This railway line has two branches. A branch goes from Gouripur to Mohanganj via Shyamganj. Another branch goes to Jaria Jhanjail via Shyamganj Junction.[4]
