The Sealdah-Kusthia line of the Eastern Bengal Railway was opened to railway traffic in the year 1862.^[2] Eastern Bengal Railway used to work only on the eastern side of the Hooghly River.^[3] Barrackpore has been serviced by rail since 1862.

As they are located in a suburban region of Kolkata, most municipalities of Barrackpore are connected by local train with Kolkata. The Sealdah-Ranaghat Line runs through this sub-division and connects to Bongaon, Dankuni, Howrah, Burdwan, and Bandel. It is part of the Kolkata Suburban Railway system. The Circular and Metro Railways of Kolkata also offer an accessible means of transit to and from the sub-division.

Station complex

The platform is very much well sheltered. It has many facilities including water and sanitation.There is a proper approach road to this station. It is in proximity to the BT Road.^[4]

Electrification

The Sealdah-Ranaghat sector was electrified in 1963–65.^[5]

Barrackpore Racecourse Railway Station

There used to be a branch line originating from Barrackpore station (code : BPPS) that served the Barrackpore Cantonment Area. Barrackpore had a race course behind the criminal court (far away from the station) and a special single rail track took steam engine-driven trains there, carrying British passengers who would attend the race. The line has been depreciated since.
