History

The Ranaghat–Gede section was the part of the Eastern Bengal Railway which was opened in 1862 and extended to Kushtia, now in Bangladesh. This was the Calcutta–Siliguri Main Line but after Partition of India in 1947, this got truncated and what remained in India, was named the Gede branch line.[4] The line including Bagula railway station was electrified in 1997–98.[5]
