It serves the local areas of Madhyamgram, Badu and Sajirhat in the North 24 Parganas district, West Bengal, India.

The main line of the Eastern Bengal Railway from Sealdah to Ranaghat, was opened in 1862 and extended the same year to Kushtia, now in Bangladesh.

[2] The Madhyamgram railway station lies in the Dum Dum–Bangaon section and was opened in 1906.

There is a road overbridge to the north of the station and to the south, there exists the bridge over the Noai Canal.

From there, the line would run under Jessore Road until New Barrackpore before reaching the surface at Madhyamgram station.

However, for crossing the existing road overbridge at Madhyamgram and Barasat, the alignment would descend gradually to ground level and rise again on viaduct.
