TheBarkakana–Muri–Chandil line is an Indian railway line connectingBarkakana andMuri withChandil on theAsansol–Tatanagar–Kharagpur line. This 126-kilometre (78 mi) track is under the jurisdiction ofSouth Eastern Railway.

History

[edit]

TheBengal Nagpur Railway was formed in 1887 for the purpose of upgrading theNagpur Chhattisgarh Railway and then extending it viaBilaspur toAsansol, in order to develop a shorter Howrah–Mumbai route than the one via Allahabad.^[1] The Bengal Nagpur Railway main line from Nagpur toAsansol, on theHowrah–Delhi main line, was opened for goods traffic on 1 February 1891.^[2]

The Chandil–Barkakana line was opened for traffic in 1927.^[2]

Route diversion

[edit]

With the construction of the Chandil Dam as a part of theSubarnarekha Multpurpose project, the traffic betweenChandil and Tiruldih was diverted to a newly constructed line via Haslang & Bakarkudi in 1990 as the older route via Pakridih & Ichhadih became submerged in the dam waters.^[3]

Electrification

[edit]

The Chandil–Gondabihar, Gondabihar–Tiruldih and Barkakana–Ramgarh Halt sectors were electrified in 1996–97. The Tiruldih–Ramgarh sector was electrified in 1997–98.^[4]
