From 1893 to 1896, 1,287 km (800 mi) of East Coast State Railway was built and opened to traffic. It necessitated construction of some of the largest bridges across rivers like the Subarnarekha, Brahmani, Baitarani, Mahanadi, Kathajodi, Kuakhai and Birupa. Bengal Nagpur Railway's line to Cuttack was opened on 1 January 1899.[1]
The Khurda Road–Puri section was opened to traffic on 1 February 1897.[1]
The 514 km (319 mi) long northern section of the East Coast State Railway was merged with BNR in 1902.[2]
Railway reorganisation[edit | edit source]
The Bengal Nagpur Railway was nationalized in 1944.[3] Eastern Railway was formed on 14-April-1952 with the portion of East Indian Railway Company east of Mughalsarai and the Bengal Nagpur Railway.[4] In 1955, South Eastern Railway was carved out of Eastern Railway. It comprised lines mostly operated by BNR earlier.[4][5] Amongst the new zones started in April-2003 were East Coast Railway and South East Central Railway. Both these railways were carved out of South Eastern Railway.[4]
