New Jalpaiguri railway station
New Jalpaiguri is a railway station in Jalpaiguri district in the Indian state of West Bengal which serves the twin cities of Jalpaiguri and Siliguri.
==History==
The partition of India in 1947 completely disrupted communication links in North Bengal and Assam with the southern parts of West Bengal. Earlier, the links were through the eastern part of Bengal, which became a part of Pakistan in 1947. Siliguri gained in importance as the gateway to North Bengal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Assam.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=India: the complex history of the junctions at Siliguri and New Jalpaiguri )〕
Around 1949, Siliguri Junction station, a new station north of the old Siliguri Town railway station, came up with several metre gauge lines converging on it. In addition there was the narrow gauge Darjeeling Himalayan Railway running from Siliguri Town station to Darjeeling via Siliguri Junction. The Assam Rail Link Project, completed in 1950, linked the railways in Assam, with a metre gauge line to Kishanganj. The line running across North Bengal, spanned the Teesta, Torsha, and Sankosh rivers.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】Indian Railway History Timeline )〕
In the early 1960s, Indian Railways started changing over from metre gauge to broad gauge and built a new broad gauge station south of Siliguri Town station. It was intended to name the station New Siliguri station. However, as the new station was located in Jalpaiguri district, it was named New Jalpaiguri station. By 1964, New Jalpaiguri became the most important railway station in the area. It had both broad gauge (to Kishanganj and Barsoi) and metre gauge (to Siliguri town and Siliguri junction) tracks. The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway narrow gauge track was extended from Siliguri town station to the new greenfield station.〔 The metre gauge track from New Jaipaiguri to Siliguri town and Siliguri junction was later converted to broad gauge.
