Mainamati Railway Station is a railway station located in Comilla Sadar Dakshin Upazila of Comilla District of Chittagong Division, Bangladesh. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

History

The Assam Bengal Railway Company, formed in England in 1892, took over the responsibility of building railways in the country. On 1 July 1895, the 150 km metre gauge line from Chittagong to Comilla and the 69 km railway line from Laksam to Chandpur were opened to the public. ^[4] Mainamati Railway Station was built as a station on the Chittagong-Comilla line.

On 23 January 2016, due to manpower shortage, 56 out of 170 stations of the Eastern Railway were closed. These included 14 stations on the Dhaka-Chittagong railway line, which included this station. However, local and some scheduled trains used to stop at Mainamati Railway Station. ^[5]

On 16 March 2017, the authorities officially reopened the station to the public. However, despite the reopening, no trains stopped at the station for over 4 months and ticket sales did not resume. ^[6]
