History

Construction of the 265 km (165 mi)-long 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge Siliguri–Jogihopa line, between 1963 and 1965, brought broad-gauge railways to Assam. It also was the reason for setting up the New Bongaigaon railway station.[1]

New railway track from New Bongaigaon to Guwahati was commissioned in 1984.[2]

Saraighat Bridge opened in 1962, initially carried a metre-gauge track, which was later replaced by broad gauge.[3]
