History
The Samastipur-Khagaria meter gauge line was constructed in two phases by Tirhut Railway. The first phase, from Samastipur to Rusera Ghat, was completed in 1912, while the second phase extended from Rusera Ghat to Khagaria. The line was later converted to broad gauge, with the gauge conversion work completed in 2006.[1][2]
