History

Janakpur was a freight station built in 1937 to move timber to Indian Railways during British India. When all the timber in the area cut, the station was opened for the passenger. [4]

In 2014 the Nepal Janakpur Jaynagar Railway service was stopped to convert it in broad gauge line. A new station at Janakpur built and opened for passengers from 03 March 2022.[5]
