Akhaura Junction railway station

Akhaura Junction railway station is a railway junction located in Akhaura Upazila, Brahmanbaria District, Chittagong division, Bangladesh.

[1][2] In response to the demands of tea manufacturers of Assam for a railway line with the port of Chittagong, the Assam Bengal Railway started construction of railway lines in eastern Bengal from 1891.

On 1 July 1895, the 150 km Chittagong–Comilla and the 69 km Laksam–Chandpur lines were opened to the public.

[3] In the same year it was opened as a station of Comilla–Akhaura–Shahbajpur line.

It became a junction station when the railway line from Akhaura to Tongi was built.
