Situated 299 miles from Calcutta, "Jamalpur is the head-quarters of the locomotive department of the East Indian Railway and contains the largest manufacturing workshops in India". (Imperial Gazetteer of India, 1908)

The Locomotive workshops were established in 1862. On 15 January 1934, the workshops along with the entire railway colony were destroyed by an earthquake. It took 3 years to rebuild the facility.
