Arambagh Prafulla Chandra Sen Railway Station is a railway station of the Howrah–Seoraphuli–Bishnupur line under Howrah railway division of the Eastern Railways. It is situated beside Darbeshpur-Tirol-Arambagh Road at Arambagh in Hooghly district of West Bengal.[6][7][8][9]

History[edit | edit source]

In 1887, Howrah–Seoraphuli–Bishnupur branch line was planned to be constructed, and it was to be a track connecting Tarakeswar with Bishnupur. It was 90% completed before the 1900s, but a big pond was there in the track, and the villagers did not give the land to Indian Railways.[10] The station was opened in November 2011. The Talpur-Arambagh sector was started on 4 June 2012.[11][12] In August 2025, it was 70% finished and expected the first Howrah to Bishnupur train of this line will run in April 2026.[13]

Future[edit | edit source]

In the future, the station will be enlarged to 4 or 5 platforms because of the construction of the Howrah–Seoraphuli–Bishnupur branch line.[14][15] A line from Arambgh to Bowaichandi is planned to be built.[16]
