==Overview==
In 1917, L.S.S.O’Malley described the coalfields in the upper reaches of the [[Damodar River|Damodar]] as follows: "Near the western boundary of Jharia field is that of Bokaro, covering" {{convert|220|sqmi|km2}}, "with an estimated content of 1,500 million tons; close by… is the Ramgarh field (40 square miles), in which, however, coal is believed to be of inferior quality. A still larger field in the same district is that called Karanpura, which extends over" {{convert|544|sqmi|km2}} "and has an estimated capacity of 9,000 million tons."<ref>L.S.S. O’Malley, Bengal, Bihar and Orissa, Sikkim, p.87, Cambridge University Press, 1917 (paper back 2011) {{ISBN|978-1-107-60064-5}}</ref>

==The Coalfield==
There are large numbers of seams in the North Karanpura Coalfield, some with thicknesses over 72 feet.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://jharkhandforest.com/files/Hazaribagh_Introduction.pdf | title = The Hazaribagh District | work = Geology and Mineral Resources | access-date = 2008-08-26 }}</ref>

==Transport==
In 1927, Bengal Nagpur Railway opened the {{convert|72|mi|km|adj=on}} [[Barkakana-Muri-Chandil line]] to traffic. In the same year the Central India Coalfields Railway opened the [[Asansol-Gaya section|Gomoh-Barkakana line]]. It was extended to Daltonganj in 1929. Later these lines were amalgamated with East India Railway.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://irse.bravehost.com/IRHTML.htm | title = Indian Railway History Timeline | access-date = 2008-08-26 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://archive.is/20120714085533/http://irse.bravehost.com/IRHTML.htm | archive-date = 2012-07-14 }}</ref>
