==History==<br />
The [[Ranaghat Junction railway station|Ranaghat]]–{{stnlnk|Gede}} section was the part of the [[Eastern Bengal Railway]] which was opened in 1862 and extended to Kushtia, now in [[Bangladesh]]. This was the [[Kolkata|Calcutta]]–[[Siliguri]] main line but after [[Partition of India]] in 1947, this got truncated and what remained India named the Gede branch line.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Eastern_Bengal_Railway|title=Eastern Bengal Railway|access-date=May 6, 2019}}</ref> The line including Taraknagar railway station was electrified in 1997–98.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://er.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?lang=0&id=0,6,442,462,470|title=TRACTION DISTRIBUTION SEALDAH|website=indianrailways.gov.in|access-date=May 6, 2019}}</ref><br />
