History


The Calcutta (Sealdah)–Kusthia line of Eastern Bengal Railway was opened to traffic in 1862.[1] The Ranaghat–Lalgola branch line was established in 1905 as an extension of Sealdah–Ranaghat line. This railway station was named Berhampore Court in accordance with the British pronunciation of Baharampore as "Berhampore". The rail distance between Berhampore and Sealdah is approximately 186 km (116 mi). After the electrification and inauguration of double track by the Indian Railways, Berhampore railway station was modified and reconstructed into five platforms.
