==History==
From 1878, the railway route from Kolkata, then called Calcutta, to Siliguri was in two laps. The first lap was a 185 km journey along the Eastern Bengal State Railway from Calcutta Station (later renamed Sealdah) to Damookdeah Ghat on the southern bank of the Padma River, then across the river in a ferry and the second lap of the journey. A 336 km metre gauge line of the North Bengal Railway linked Saraghat on the northern bank of the Padma to Siliguri.〔(【引用サイトリンク】India: the complex history of the junctions at Siliguri and New Jalpaiguri )〕
The Kolkata-Siliguri main line was converted to broad gauge in stages. The Shakole-Santahar section was converted in 1910-1914, when Hardinge Bridge was under construction. The Hardinge Bridge was opened in 1915 and the Santahar-Parbatipur section was converted in 1924.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Brief History )〕 The journey to Kolkata from Hili was only eight hours prior to 1947.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Chapter:Background )〕
During partition of India, the India-Pakistan border ran through Hili town, with around three fourths of the town in East Pakistan, later Bangladesh. Hili railway station located in Bangladeshi territory is a stone’s throw away from Indian territory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Border cloud on revelry - BDR bar on puja pandals )〕
