The Sealdah–Kusthia line of the [[Eastern Bengal Railway]] was opened to railway traffic in 1862; the Railway previously worked only on the eastern side of the [[Hooghly River]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Eastern_Bengal_Railway |title =Eastern Bengal Railway | publisher=fibis | access-date = 2 May 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=IR History: Early days (1832–1865)|url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-hist.html|access-date=2 May 2013|publisher=IRFCA}}</ref><br />

One can board local and passenger trains every now and then from this station to go to [[Kolkata]], [[Budge Budge]], [[New Alipore|Majerhat]], [[Katwa]] and so on. Not only the [[Sealdah]]–[[Bardhaman]] local (via [[Bandel]] station) but also all of the Sealdah main line local trains halt at this very station. The [[Maitree Express]] not only connecting just two cities, Kolkata and [[Dhaka]] but also two countries India and [[Bangladesh]], passes through this railway station.{{Citation needed|date=July 2020}}<br />

==Electrification==<br />
The Sealdah–Ranaghat sector underwent electrification from 1963 to 1965.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://irfca.org/docs/electrification-history.html |title = History of Electrification | publisher= IRFCA| access-date = 5 May 2013}}</ref><br />
