The station at this town was on the [[Eastern Bengal State Railway]] (EBR)
See Imperial Gazetteer Volume 12 Page 279
==Railway Connections==
The broad gauge([[Rail_gauge#Broad_Gauge|BG]]) from the [[Calcutta]] terminus station at [[Sealdah]] via [[Dum Dum]] and [[Ranaghat]] to [[Poradaha]] opened in 1862 and extended in 1864 to [[Kushtia]]. The EBR company had also acquired a steam vessel service operating between [[Kushtia]] and [[Dacca]] on the Ganges River (known in this region as the Padma River) <ref>[https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/228649/8330.pdf H.M. Government “Statute Law Repeals: Nineteenth Report : Draft Statute Law (Repeals) Bill; April 2012"; pages 127-8, paragraphs 3.51 - 3.55] Retrieved on 2 Jun 2016</ref>. In 1871 the line was extended from [[Poradaha]] to a new ferry terminal at [[Goalundo]] , about 45 miles east of [[Kushtia]] and reducing the river trip to [[Dacca]]. These railways became the start of the ‘EBR Eastern Division’.
