Dum Dum Junction is a very important and busy junction station of the Kolkata Suburban Railway on the Sealdah–Ranaghat line. Three lines branch out from Dum Dum in the north direction–the Kolkata Eastern line to Gede, the Calcutta chord line to Шаблон:Stnlnk and the Sealdah–Hasnabad–Bangaon–Ranaghat line to Шаблон:Stnlnk and Шаблон:Stnlnk. On the other hand in the south direction, those three lines go to the Sealdah, while the Kolkata Circular Railway line arises from it towards Patipukur, and also ends to it through Bidhannagar Road after encircling the city of Kolkata through various important stations like Kolkata railway station and Majerhat.

The Dum Dum metro station of the Blue line is adjacent to Dum Dum railway station, making more connectivity to the city. It serves Dum Dum and the surrounding areas.

History

The Calcutta Sealdah–Kusthia line of Eastern Bengal Railway was opened to traffic in 1862.[1] Eastern Bengal Railway worked on the eastern side of the Hooghly River, which in those days there was no bridge.[2]

In 1882–84 the Bengal Central Railway Company constructed two lines: one from Dum Dum to Khulna present day which is in Bangladesh, via Bangaon and the other linking Ranaghat and Bangaon.[3] The Bengal Central Railway was formed in 1881 to construct and operate a line to Khulna. Later, it was merged with Eastern Bengal Railway in 1903.[4]

The Шаблон:Convert long Шаблон:Track gauge broad gauge line from Barasat to Шаблон:Stnlnk was constructed between 1957 and 1962.[5] In 1932, the Calcutta Chord line was built over the Willingdon Bridge joining Dum Dum and Шаблон:Stnlnk.[3]
