| ==History==
| |
| On 1 December 1915, [[McLeod's Light Railways]] (MLR) set up narrow-gauge lines in the Burdwan-Katwa Railway route. This railway section was handed over to the Eastern Railway in 1966. In 2010 the work started for conversion of 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/logistics/It%E2%80%99s-journey%E2%80%99s-end-for-these-slow-coaches-with-a-long-history/article20920608.ece|title=It's journey's end for these slow coaches with a long history|last=Law|first=Abhishek|website=@businessline|access-date=2019-10-11}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Villagers-stall-rail-project-in-Burdwan/articleshow/6021611.cms|title=Villagers stall rail project in Burdwan {{!}} Kolkata News|last=Jun 8|first=TNN {{!}} Updated|last2=2010|website=The Times of India|access-date=2019-10-11|last3=Ist|first3=0:53}}</ref> Bardhaman to Balogna railway station was reopened in 2014 and Balgona to Katwa section was completed on 12 January 2018 for the public.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.anandabazar.com/district/bardhaman/katwa-burdwan-broad-gauge-trains-started-at-last-1.739229|title='বড় রেল' কাটোয়ায়, জমল ভিড়|last=সংবাদদাতা|first=নিজস্ব|website=anandabazar.com|language=bn-IN|access-date=2019-10-11}}</ref>
