History

Assam Behar State Railway extended the metre gauge railway from Parbatipur, now in Bangladesh, to Katihar in 1889.
In 1948–50, as a part of the Assam Rail Link project, the Fakiragram-Kishanganj sector was connected to the North Eastern Railway network at Barsoi. The railway lines in the area started being converted to broad gauge from the early 1960s. The Barsoi-Radhikapur sector was converted to broad gauge in 2006.
