History
Kharagpur–Bankura–Adra line was opened in 1901. This railway track including Bankura Junction railway station was electrified in 1997–98. Old narrow-gauge Bankura–Damodar Railway (also called as Bankura Damodar River Railway) connecting Bankura and Rainagar in Bankura and Bardhaman districts was opened to traffic in sections between 1916 and 1917. In 2005, the 118 kilometer-long railway section known as Bankura–Masagram line was converted to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge.[6] The whole track was electrified in 2018–19.[7]
