🔶The

extinct Tarakeswar-Tribeni Martin Railways used to pass by here (the underpass is still present few metres ahead of the station)
🔶Tarakeswar-Magra New Line was proposed/sanctioned for construction
🔶One will NOT get trains at Maximum speed because the station falls on the "bad bank zone" between CDAE-CRAE stations and Permanent Speed Restriction of 100kmph is imposed.
