History
The Howrah–Allahabad–Mumbai line, a joint effort of Great Indian Peninsula Railway and East Indian Railway Company came up in 1870.[1] The Bengal Nagpur Railway was formed in 1887 for the purpose of upgrading the Nagpur Chhattisgarh Railway and then extending it via Шаблон:Stnlnk to Шаблон:Stnlnk, in order to develop a shorter Howrah–Mumbai route than the one via Allahabad.[2] The Bengal Nagpur Railway main line from Nagpur to Шаблон:Stnlnk, on the Howrah–Delhi main line, was opened for goods traffic on 1 February 1891.[3] However, it was only after Kharagpur was linked from the west and the south that it was connected to Howrah in 1900.[4]
BNR lines were extended to Gomoh, on EIR's main line, in 1907. The Mohuda–Chandrapura branch line was opened in 1913.[3]
