History

Old narrow-gauge Bankura–Damodar Railway (also called as Bankura–Damodar River Railway) connecting Bankura and Rainagar in Bankura and Bardhaman districts was opened to traffic in sections between 1916 and 1917.[5] In 2005, the 118 kilometers long railway section known as Bankura–Masagram line was converted to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge.[6] The whole track including Beliatore railway station was electrified in 2018–19.[7][8]
