In 2004, when a broad-gauge railway track was being constructed from Eklakhi to Balurghat (Proposed to be extended up to Hilli), a radical change was seen in the transport system of Dakshin Dinajpur, as then State Highway 10 was the only way to connect other important locations.
The new Railway line gave an opportunity to the people of the Buniadpur to link to Kolkata by trains. The first train connected the station on 30 December 2004.
Buniadpur is an important railway station, next after Balurghat. It is the halt of 4 Express trains and terminal of a Passenger Train.
