The Teesta Junction–Kurigram–Chilmari Railway Line is a railway line maintained and operated by Bangladesh Railway.
History In 1879, a branch of the Burimari–Lalmonirhat–Parbatipur Line extended from Teesta Junction to Kurigram. Initially, it was a narrow gauge line. The line from Teesta Junction to Kurigram was converted to meter gauge in 1928–1929. In 1967, a new 28.55-kilometer meter-gauge railway was constructed from Kurigram to Chilmari. However, in the early 1970s, the Chilmari Railway Station was washed away by the Brahmaputra River due to flooding. Currently, trains only operate up to Ramna Bazar Railway Station. The railway line from Teesta Junction to Ramna Bazar is 56 kilometers long.
