Daskalgram railway station is a railway station in the Ahmadpur–Katwa line under the Howrah railway division of the Eastern Railway zone.[2] It is situated in Daskalgram, Birbhum district in the Indian state of West Bengal.[3]
History
The Ahmedpur–Katwa narrow-gauge railway line connecting Ahmedpur and Katwa was established on 29 September 1917 by McLeod's Light Railways. Indian Railways took over the operation of this narrow-gauge railway from McLeod and Company in 1966.[4] After closing the line in 2013, the railway section was converted into 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge.[5] The conversion work started in 2013 and was completed in early 2017. The track, including Daskalgram railway station, was reopened to the public on 24 May 2018.[6]
