Nirol railway station is a railway station in Ahmadpur–Katwa line under Howrah railway division of Eastern Railway zone. It is situated at Nirol, Beninagar of Purba Bardhaman district in the Indian state of West Bengal.[1] [2]
Ahmedpur–Katwa narrow-gauge railway line connecting Ahmedpur and Katwa was established on 29 September 1917 by McLeod's Light Railways. Indian Railways had taken over the operation of this narrow-gauge railway from McLeod and Company in 1966.[3] After closing this track in 2013 the railway section was converted into broad gauge in 1917.[4] The conversion work started in 2013 and was completed in early 2017. The track including Nirol railway station was reopened for the public on 24 May 2018.[5]
