History

In the pre-partition days, Assam was linked to Chittagong through the Akhaura–Kulaura–Chhatak line and Akhaura–Laksam–Chittagong line. The Chittagong link had been constructed in response to the demand of the Assam tea planters for a railway link to Chittagong port. Assam Bengal Railway started construction of a railway track on the eastern side of Bengal in 1891. A 150-kilometre long (93 mi) track between Chittagong and Comilla was opened to traffic in 1895. The Comilla–Akhaura–Kulaura–Badarpur section was opened in 1896–1898 and extended to Lumding in 1903. [2] [3]

Assam Bengal Railway opened the Lumding–Guwahati line in 1900. [4]

After independence and partition, the entire Guwahati–Lumding–Dibrugarh–Tinsukia sector was converted from metre gauge to broad gauge by 1997. [5] [6]

The Lumding–Silchar gauge conversion work was scheduled to be completed in March–April 2015. [7]
