to Jainti in 1901. The line passed through Alipuduar. It was converted to 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) metre gauge in 1910. With the partition of India in 1947, railway links of Assam and the Indian part of North Bengal, earlier passing through the eastern part of Bengal, were completely cut off from the rest of India. The Assam Rail Link project was taken up on 26 January 1948 and the first train ran on the route on 26 January 1950. The project basically was a 229 kilometres (142 mi) long 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) metre gauge line linking Fakiragram with Kishanganj. It ran through Alipurduar. The route was converted to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge in 2003-2006. Northeast Frontier Railway converted the Alipurduar-Bamanhat branch line to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) Broad gauge in 2007.
