History
The Bengal Nagpur Railway was formed in 1887 for the purpose of upgrading the Nagpur Chhattisgarh Railway and then extending it via Bilaspur to Asansol, in order to develop a shorter Howrah–Mumbai route than the one via Allahabad.[3] The Bengal Nagpur Railway main line from Nagpur to Asansol, on the Howrah–Delhi main line, was opened for goods traffic on 1 February 1891.[4]
Electrification
The Asansol–Purulia sector was electrified in 1961–62.[5]
Important junction point
Damodar is the last station before the entry lines of the raw materials yard (Damodar Yard) of IISCO Steel Plant, which has been modernised at a cost of Rs. 16,408 crores.[6]
To the north of Damodar railway station runs the line to numerous railway sidings for coal loading. The Damodar-Radhanagar sector of the coal sidings line was electrified in 1963–64.[5]
To the south is the link to Kalipahari on the Bardhaman–Asansol section for freight trains (mainly iron ore rakes for Durgapur Steel Plant) to bypass Asansol . This line was electrified in 1961–62.[5]
