This train is named after Indian rivers Brahmaputra and Barak, both of which are two main rivers of Assam and also they are important for connectivity in Barak & Brahmaputra Valley.^[1]

This train was inaugurated on 8 April 2018. It was flagged off by Sarbananda Sonowal (former Chief Minister of Assam) and Rajen Gohain (former Minister of state of Railways), from Dibrugarh with an weekly frequency train service and It was ran as Silchar–Dibrugarh Express.

Routes[edit]
