Joydebpur Junction railway station

Joydebpur Junction Railway Station (Bengali: জয়দেবপুর জংশন রেলওয়ে স্টেশন) is a railway junction in Gazipur District of Dhaka Division in Bangladesh.

[1] Consequent to the construction of the 4.8-kilometre-long (3.0 mi) Jamuna Bridge in 1998, there was reassessment of the requirements of the railways.

First, a 99-kilometre-long (62 mi) new dual gauge line was to be constructed from Joydebpur to Jamtoil, to connect the eastern part of the Bangladesh railway system to the western part.

Second, a 245-kilometre (152 mi) length of broad gauge track from Jamtoil to parbatipur was to be converted to dual gauge.

[1][2] This made Joydebpur, a dual gauge railway station.
