HistoryNripendra Narayan, the Maharaja of Cooch Behar, established Cooch Behar State Railway in 1893-98.[1] After some deliberations and discussions with the British authorities about their plans, it was decided in 1891-92 to build a {{RailGauge|2ft6in}} wide narrow gauge railway from the southern bank of the Torsa opposite Cooch Behar town to Gitaldaha, a station on the tracks of Eastern Bengal Railway connecting Dhubri with Lalmonirhat, now in Bangladesh. The line was constructed with the following stations: Torsa, Dewanhat, Chawrahat, Gitaldaha and Gitaldaha Ghat. It was opened for goods traffic from 15 September 1893 and for passenger traffic from 1 March 1894.[1] Cooch Behar town was connected after a bridge was built on the Torsa and the line was extended to Alipurduar, Buxa and Jainti near the India-Bhutan border. The complete line measuring 53.5 miles was opened in 1901. It was converted to {{RailGauge|1000mm}} wide metre gauge in 1910. The railway system was operated by Eastern Bengal Railway.[1][2][3] In 1932, only two trains ran on the route – one in the morning and the other in the evening.[1] In early 1950s, the system was amalgamated with Indian Railways as a part of North Eastern Railway (now North East Frontier Railway).[4]Conversion to broad gaugeThe line was converted to {{RailGauge|1676mm}} wide broad gauge in 2007.[5] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web| url = http://www.irfca.org/docs/history/cooch-behar-railway.html|title = The Cooch Behar State Railways (1903)|work= "The Cooch Behar state and its land revenue settlements" by H.
