The first section from [[Narayanganj]] to [[Dacca]] opened in January 1885 and reached [[Mymensingh]] in August 1885. The railway was first named the '''[[Narayanganj-Dacca-Mymensingh State Railway]]''' renamed '''[[Dacca State Railway]]''' in late 1885;

At [[Mymensingh]], there was an end-on connection to the privately owned [[Mymensingh-Jamalpur-Jagannath Railway]], worked by the [[Eastern Bengal Railway]]EBR.
In 1887, to ensure better management, the DSR, along with [[Northern Bengal State Railway]](NBSR) and the narrow gauge([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]]) [[Kaunia-Dharlia State Tram/Railway]] were amalgamated to form the '''[[Eastern Bengal Railway]]'''(EBR).
