The Goalpara Forest Tramway was constructed in 1901-02 as a tramline to transport timber from the Goalpara forest to Fakiragram Staion of the East Bengal Railway (EBR). The line was exclusively built to serve the interests of the Forest Department, yet it indirectly developed the transport system in that area as well. The line length was initially 2.5 miles(4km) and extended to a total of 31.5 miles(50km) by 1938-39 [1]
