It was originally BKSC-MAS express with a slip service from TATA if I am not mistaken. Originally a SER train, due to ADRA division's apathy towards the pitline at BKSC, it wasn't looked after well and allowed to rot away. The Primary maintenance of this train was then given to ER and the train was extended to DHN_ER and the train was renumbered to 13351.

BKSC is a strange case where a combination of several factors have ensured that a city of the calibre of Bokaro is devoid of originating/terminating trains.

Be it the land issue with BSL that denies the justified increase in number of platforms at BKSC, or the general apathy of SER and ADRA division towards it as a whole. Compounding this problem is the weak political lobby of Dhanbad, under whose Union Legislative seat BKSC lies.

Dhanbad got lucky in some ways, the location was good and ER's ASN Division, and then Dhanbad Division was really beneficial for the region. Dhanbad and Gomoh got pitlines for that reason.

Dhanbad still gets a lot of benefits from ASN Division, that is a undisputed fact. That is the main reason why I always felt that DHN Division shouldn't have be created out of ASN Division in the first place. It would still be beneficial if DHN was reinstated back into ASN.

I have tagged members from BKSC, who will be able to elaborate on the matter in greater details.

It was 89/90 TATA-MAS originally (1970 introduction), going via Bhimavaram Town then, departing Tatanagar at night. The whole rake got extended to BKSC in 1975, via Muri. In 1981, the train was split up into two parts, 89/90 BKSC MAS and 89A/90A TATA MAS. BKSC MAS (evening departure) became the main train and TATA MAS (night departure) became the link. BKSC MAS ran via Ranchi-Hatia and TATA MAS via Chakradharpur, and got attached at Rourkela.

1981, after split, train started going via Eluru, which 13351/52 continues to date. In 1991, Railway Minister C.K. Jaffer Sharief extended the train to Alleppey, and the slot changed. Noon departure from Bokaro for 8689 and evening departure for 8189 from Tatanagar. In 1995, train was rerouted via Perambur, avoiding reversal at MAS.

Railway Minister Nitish Kumar extended the Bokaro train to Dhanbad via DC line in 2003.

Just one correction, 8689/90 BKSC - ALLP Express got extended to DHN circa 2002-03. It was already under ECR, then.

You have more or less listed(almost all) problems pertaining to the present state of BKSC. All terminating/originating trains of BKSC were lost to other nearby stations. 8689/90 BKSC - ALLP was extended to DHN, 2019/20 HWH - BKSC Shatabdi got extended to RNC, and the last one HWH - BKSC Passenger/Express got extended to RNC indirectly through its RSA partner BKSC - RNC Passenger.

The pitline at BKSC is in a very bad state now(it is damaged). At this time, when the Government is investing so much in infrastructures, it's very sad to see the state of railway station of a prominent industrial town in the state of Jharkhand. Bokaro Steel City deserves a lot better.

Re# 6018017-34              
A parasite 🦠 is what I call ADRA division, surviving on the revenue of BKSC. Most of its revenue comes from freight to which BKSC contributes the highest and still the station building of ADRA is getting completed first . Why ??? I don’t need to even explain this Amrit Bharat scam being run by ADRA.

BKSC has been moved out of GEN quota from its own train which now runs as DHN-ALLP EXP.

BKSC has been moved out of GEN quota from RNC-HWH Shatabdi which was its train once.

Even RNC division has removed GEN quota from
many trains even though both are SER, but retained for MURI. I mean I don’t want to even talk about the logic here.

MLA, MP, division, zone and IR as whole has been a complete disappointment. Even after so many years of independence BKSC doesn’t have direct trains to Bangalore, Pune, Jammu, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Indore, Trivandrum, and many more places.

Such a shame for the 4th largest and important industrial city of Jharkhand.

Got to know this from my father, on 24.4.24 enquiry counter officials were saying 12021 Janshatabdi will depart but don't know when. This was happening repeatedly and people lost their cool. They broke the window panes. RPF had to come to the spot. This has become a daily affair for 12021/22, arrive late, depart late. Can't they just cancel one run and make it on time? And make it run very close to the schedule (if not exactly on the schedule) everyday? Oh sorry, obviously freight is the lifeline of SER, passenger trains are not at all important.

SER(CKP division) and SECR are not interested in passenger trains at all. This is the new normal in these areas. So, public agitation to hona hi hai. Lekin, fir bhi situation nahi sudhrega.

SER pushed too many Rolling Blocks, far beyond it can handle after directions by RM. There is a ongoing damage control by actively distributing fake promises to all passengers when someone dares to cross the line.
