TheBankura–Masagram line is an electrified broad-gauge rail line connectingBankura town andMasagram. The 120.3-kilometre-long (74.8 mi) railway line operates inBankura andPurba Bardhaman districts in the Indian state ofWest Bengal. It falls underAdra railway division of South Eastern Railway Zone of Indian Railways.

History

[edit]

The old 97.3 km (60 mi)Narrow Gauge route ofBankura Damodar Railway(closed in 1965) was planned to be revived by South Eastern Railway of Indian Railways in 1998 as aBroad Gauge line. The plans were to convert the old track with some minor diversions to a broad-gauge one and connect it with theHowrah–Bardhaman chord nearMasagram. The work has been scheduled to be completed in three phases: Bankura–Sonamukhi, Sonamukhi–Rainagar, and Rainagar–Masagram.[4]

The 41.4-kilometre-long (25.7 mi) Bankura–Sonamukhi broad-gauge section was completed and opened to the public in 2005.[5] The 55-kilometre-long (34 mi) Sonamukhi–Rainagar broad-gauge section was completed and opened to the public in 2008[6] and one stop extension to Mathnasipur was completed in 2011. According to Indian Railways, the missing link between Mathnasipur andMasagram was planned to open in the financial year 2012–2013. On completion of the 23-kilometre-long (14 mi) Rainagar–Masagram new broad-gauge section, the distance between Howrah and Bankura was to be reduced from 231 kilometres (144 mi) (viaKharagpur) to 185 kilometres (115 mi). The last section involved the construction of a bridge across theDamodar River.[6][7] The 1,444-metre-long (4,738 ft) bridge over the Damodar was constructed and work on the Mathnasipur-Masagram new project was completed with the addition of four new halts – Gram Masagram (Mustafachak), Habaspur, Dadpur and Berugram.[8]

Construction on the 48.25-kilometre-long (29.98 mi) new broad-gauge railway line between Bankura–ChhatnaMukutmanipur has also been inaugurated.[9]

Route description

[edit]

The previous2 ft 6 in (762 mm)Narrow gauge line near Bankura was a bit different. The former NG station was physically isolated from the BG station. It was after the adjacent road, so if anyone wanted to change from BG to NG, he/she should cross the road to entrain the NG train. To continuing journey fromAdra toRainagar, the new5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm)broad gauge line is branching just before Bankura Jn. (going towards Kharagpur from Adra), then it turns as a semicircle, and then meets on the old narrow-gauge line alignment. On the rest portion it completely follows the old line's alignment. The line is entirely single. There are crossings at Sonamukhi, Patrasayer, Bowaichandi, Seharabazar and Rainagar. It passes through land of red soil and part of a partly cut jungle.

Train service

[edit]
TheRainagar broad-gauge station of Bankura–Masagram line built in place of old narrow-gauge terminus station ofBDR. It is built with special elevation keeping in view of flooding of Damodar River in monsoons.

As of April 2021, MEMU services are available betweenBankura Junction and Masagram.

On 20 February 2021, South Eastern Railway has decided to introduce two pairs of MEMU trains between Bankura and Masagram from 21 February 2021.[10]

On 28 June 2025,Ashwini Vaishnaw, TheMinister of Railways, inauguratedMEMU Train betweenPurulia Junction andHowrah Junction viaBankura Junction andMasagram Junction.
