History
The demand for jute was increasing all over the world. For the purpose of meeting that growing demand, there was a need for better communication system than the existing communication system to supply jute from Eastern Bengal to Port of Kolkata.

This railway was extended up to Jamalpur in 1894 and up to Jagannathganj in Sarishabari Upazila in 1899. In 1912, the railway line was extended from Jamalpur to Bahadurabad Ghat.
