Malihati Talibpur railway station is a railway station on the Howrah–Azimganj line of the Howrah railway division of the Eastern Railway zone. It is situated at Malihati Talibpur in Murshidabad district in the Indian state of West Bengal.[1]

History

[edit]

In 1913, the Hooghly–Katwa Railway constructed a 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge line from Bandel to Katwa, and the Barharwa–Azimganj–Katwa Railway constructed the 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge Barharwa–Azimganj–Katwa loop.[2][3] With the construction of the Farakka Barrage and the opening of the railway bridge in 1971, the railway communication picture of this line was completely changed. There are a total 24 trains, including a few passengers and an EMU stop at Malihati Talibpur Road.[1] The distance between Howrah and Malihati Talibpur railway station is approximately 164 km.[4]
