Masagram is a Kolkata Suburban Railway station on the Howrah–Bardhaman chord and is located in Purba Bardhaman district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It serves Masagram and surrounding villages. The construction of the Bankura–Masagram line made Masagram a junction station. The Damodar flows nearby.
The Howrah–Bardhaman chord, a shorter link to Bardhaman from Howrah than the Howrah–Bardhaman main line, was constructed in 1917.[1]
Howrah–Bardhaman chord was electrified in 1964–66.[2]
Around 3,000 passengers use Masagram railway station every day.[3]
The 117adj=midNaNadj=mid Bankura–Masagram line will connect to the Howrah–Bardhaman chord near Masagram.[4] [5] The 510adj=midNaNadj=mid bridge over the Damodar has already been constructed, and work on the last sector, the Mathnasipur-Masagram new line project, was inaugurated on 16 April 2013.[6] [7]
