History
To meet the growing demand for jute worldwide, there was a need for improved communication systems to supply jute from the major jute producing areas of Dhaka and Mymensingh to the port of Calcutta. For the reason, Bangaon–Jesore–Khulna broad gauge railway line known as Central Railway was constructed between 1882-84. Rupdia railway station was constructed in 1884.
The permanent structure of this station was constructed around 1982. As of 2017, the ministry of Railways was constructing Dhaka–Jessore line under Padma Bridge rail link project. The station was demolished for reconstruction under the new railway line project.
As of 2018, a train stops at the railway station. There was no stationmaster at the station. As of 2023, the railway authorities have planned to make the station operational by appointing a stationmaster and pointsman at the station.
