Chilahati railway station is one of the good station
One of the dead end of Bangladesh Railway. This station is having train washing facilities and under Centrally Computerized Reservation System.
Intercity train originates from here towards Dhaka, Rajshahi, Khulna. Passenger facilities are in poor condition. Punctuality of train is average from here.
Clean.. I like it..
Chilahati (Bengali: চিলাহাটি) is a border railway station in Bangladesh, situated in Nilphamari District, in Rangpur Division. It is a defunct railway transit point on the Bangladesh-India border. Info from Wikipedia.
Chilahati is the furthest village and railway station of northern Bangladesh close to Haldibari, India and one of the most important lands port. It has a railway connected with India but it's closed since 1965. If our government take necessary steps it will play an important role to our economic condition.
Remotest area of the country.
Nice Place.
Need More improvement of Railway station Yard.

Important track in the British period:
During the British period all connections from southern parts of Bengal to North Bengal were through the eastern part of Bengal. From 1878, the railway route from Kolkata, then called Calcutta, was in two laps. The first lap was a 185 km journey along the Eastern Bengal State Railway from Calcutta Station (later renamed Sealdah) to Damookdeah Ghat on the southern bank of the Padma River, then across the river in a ferry and the second lap of the journey. A 336 km metre gauge line of the North Bengal Railway linked Saraghat on the northern bank of the Padma to Siliguri.
Chilahati railway station platform:
The 1.8 km long Hardinge Bridge across the Padma came up in 1912. In 1926 the metre-gauge section north of the bridge was converted to broad gauge, and so the entire Calcutta - Siliguri route became broad-gauge. The route thus ran: Sealdah-Ranaghat-Bheramara-Hardinge Bridge-Iswardi-Santahar-Hili-Parabtipur-Nilphamari-Haldibari-Jalpaiguri-Siliguri.
With the partition of India, this track got trisected. The through route was formally closed after the India-Pakistan War in 1965
