'''Jasidih Junction''' (station code: '''JSME''') is the railway station serving [[Jasidih]] which is the satellite town of [[Deoghar]] city in the [[Deoghar district]] in the Indian state of [[Jharkhand]].

== Administration ==
Jasidih Junction is under the [[Asansol railway division|Asansol division]] of [[Eastern Railway zone]] of the [[Indian Railways]].

== Line and location ==
{{Howrah–Delhi main line|collapse=y}}
Jasidih Junction is connected to [[metropolitan area]]s of India, Delhi–Kolkata main line via Mugalsarai–Patna route. Jasidih is located at {{coord|24.31|N|86.39|E}}.<ref>[http://www.fallingrain.com/world/IN/38/Jasidih.html Falling Rain Genomics, Inc – Jasidih]</ref> It has an average elevation of {{convert|271|m|ft}}. The {{convert|72|km}} segment from [[Jasidih]] to [[Dumka]] became operational on 12 July 2011.<ref name=start>{{cite news|title=Dumka–Jasidih trains|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110612/jsp/jharkhand/story_14101153.jsp|access-date=11 April 2012|date=12 June 2011|work=[[The Telegraph (Kolkata)|The Telegraph]]|location=Kolkata}}</ref><br>{{See also|Jasidih–Dumka–Rampurhat line}}

==Further extension==
The railways have proposed a Jasidih–bypass line after construction of which trains from {{stnlnk|Bhagalpur}} and {{stnlnk|Dumka}} can run up to {{stnlnk|Asansol}} and {{stnlnk|Dhanbad}} without loco reversal at Jasidih, also saving considerable time for the passengers. {{stnlnk|Deoghar Junction}} is being developed as a major halt station to decongest Jasidih and avoid a delay of more than 30 minutes for an engine change at Jasidih.

The {{convert|97|km||adj=on|abbr=}}-long Jasidih–Hansdiha–Pirpainti line is under construction. As of April 2021, work is under progress on Mohanpur–Hansdiha and Godda–Pirpainti sections. The {{convert|32|km||adj=on|abbr=}} Hansdiha–Godda section was inaugurated on 8 April 2021 and a [[Humsafar Express]] runs weekly from Godda to New Delhi. This line is considered important to connect the [[Godda district]] in the [[Santhal Pargana division]] of [[Jharkhand]] with the rest of India. The {{convert|80|km||adj=on|abbr=}} Godda–Pakur line is also planned [https://www.jagran.com/jharkhand/godda-new-train-start-for-godda-on-poreyahat-hansdiha-railway-root-of-indian-railways-19588779.html]
