Mahespur railway station was a railway station in Ahmadpur–Katwa line under Howrah railway division of Eastern Railway zone.

History[edit | edit source]
Ahmedpur–Katwa narrow-gauge railway line connecting Ahmedpur and Katwa was established on 29 September 1917 by McLeod's Light Railways. Indian Railways had taken over the operation of this narrow-gauge railway from McLeod and Company in 1966.[4] After closing this track in 2013 the railway section was converted into 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge in 1917.[5] The conversion work started in 2013 and was completed in early 2017. The track including Mahespur railway station was reopened for the public on 24 May 2018.[6]
