Bamanhat railway station

Bamanhat railway station serves Bamanhat in Cooch Behar district in the Indian state of West Bengal.HistoryBefore partition of India in 1947, there was a rail link to Lalmonirhat Junction, now in Bangladesh, through Geetaldaha and Mogalhat. Even in 1955 the line was there when there were talks between India and Pakistan for resumption of rail links. Up to the 1960s there was a railway link from Cooch Behar to Dhubri via Golokganj. It was then known as the Assam Line Railway Service. The links were disturbed with bridges being washed away. The entire area had metre gauge tracks. Northeast Frontier Railway converted the Alipurduar-Bamanhat branch line to Broad gauge in 2007. The Alipuduar-Bamanhat branch line up to Geetaldaha was earlier part of Cooch Behar State Railway. The Geetaldaha-Bamanhat sector was part of what was called the Assam Line Railway Service.StationIt is located near the India-Bangladesh border and handles around 15,000 passengers daily.TrainsSome important train that origins/terminates :
