Jharkhand became an independent state after separating from Bihar on 15 November 2000, but the East India Company started laying railway lines in India in 1854 in West Bengal. On 22 March 1912, Bihar and Orissa were separated from Bengal and the East India Company had laid the railway line from Howrah to Delhi, including West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh according to this, Jharkhand’s first railway station is “Pakur.” In 1851-56, the railway line was built from Khana Junction (Sahibganj Loop) to Pakur, which connected the Ganges riverbank with the Damodar river, then it was extended to Sahibganj in Jharkhand in 1866. Sitarampur-Gaya-Mughalsarai (present Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Jn.) was opened on 6 December 1901 by “Lord Minto”, which is known as Grand Chord Line.
