Construction of the 265 km (165 mi)-long 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge Siliguri–Jogihopa line, between 1963 and 1965, brought broad-gauge railways to Assam. It also was the reason for setting up the New Bongaigaon railway station.[1]
New railway track from New Bongaigaon to Guwahati was commissioned in 1984.[2]
Saraighat Bridge opened in 1962, initially carried a metre-gauge track, which was later replaced by broad gauge.[3]
Electrification of the Barauni–Katihar–Guwahati line was sanctioned in 2008.[4] In the document on Vision 2020 – A Blue Print for Railway Electrification Programme, in the list of ongoing projects the entire route km (836) is shown as balance work as on 1 April 2010.[5] The entire electrification project is scheduled to be completed by 2022.[6]
Doubling of the track between New Bongaigaon and Kamakhya via Rangia has been approved in the Railway Budget for 2013–14.[7] A double-line track is there between Samuktala Road and New Bongaigaon.[6]
New Bongaigaon has two double-bedded retiring rooms, computerized railway reservation system, waiting room and vegetarian and non vegetarian food stalls.[8]
The Carriage and Wagon Workshop is located about 2 km west of New Bongaigaon railway station. It was set up in sixties and has maintenance, as well as manufacturing facilities.[9]
