Bhikhna Thori railway station is a small terminus railway station on Narkatiaganj–Bhikhna Thori branch line in West Champaran district, Bihar. Its code is BKF. It serves Bhikhna Thori village. The station consists of two platforms.[1]

Bhikhna Thori is terminal station before the Indo-Nepal border. It is connected with the Gorakhpur–Narkatiaganj–Raxaul rail line at Narkatiaganj Junction.

Gauge conversion[edit | edit source]

Presently services are suspended on this 36 km line since 2015, as it is undergoing gauge conversion, from metre to broad gauge. It is expected that the first stretch between Narkatiaganj Junction and Amolwa (13 km) to be completed in March 2020 and by June 2020, up to Gawnaha (23 km). The final section between Gawnaha and Bhikhna Thori (13 km) passes through dense forest and needs a special permit from the Forest Department allowing construction works. As of August 2019, the permit has not been given.[2] According to the Forest Department, Gawnaha – Bhikhna Thori section should be closed and the railway land transferred to them.[3]
