Lumding is a junction railway station on the Guwahati-Lumding section. It is located in Nagaon district in the Indian state of Assam. It serves Lumding and the surrounding areas. ==History== In the pre-partition days, Assam was linked to Chittagong through the Akhaura-Kulaura-Chhatak Line and Akhaura-Laksam-Chittagong Line. The Chittagong link had been constructed in response to the demand of the Assam tea planters for a railway link to Chittagong port. Assam Bengal Railway started construction of a railway track on the eastern side of Bengal in 1891. A track between Chittagong and Comilla was opened to traffic in 1895. The Comilla-Akhaura-Kalaura-Badarpur section was opened in 1896–1898 and extended to Lumding in 1903.〔Socio Economic and Political Problems of Tea Garden Workers: A Study of Assam by S.N.Singh, Amarendra Narain, Purnendu Kumar,page 105, published in 2006, ISBN 81-8324-098-4, Mittal Publications, New Delhi〕 Assam Bengal Railway opened the Lumding-Guwahati line in 1900.〔(【引用サイトリンク】IR History: Part III (1900-1947) )〕 After independence and partition, the entire Guwahati-Lumding-Dibrugarh-Tinsukia sector was converted from metre gauge to broad gauge by 1997.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Highlights of Railway Budget, 1997-98 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】Lumding Dibrugarh GC Project )〕 The Lumding-Silchar gauge conversion work is scheduled to be completed in March–April 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lumding Junction railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
