Amolwa railway station is a small railway station on Narkatiaganj–Bhikhna Thori branch line in West Champaran district, Bihar. Its code is AMO.[1] It serves Amolwa village.

Amolwa railway station is connected with the Barauni–Gorakhpur, Raxaul and Jainagar lines at Narkatiaganj Junction, 13 km away.

Gauge conversion

Presently services are suspended on Narkatiaganj–Bhikhna Thori branch line since 2015, as it is undergoing gauge conversion, from metre to broad gauge. It is expected that the first stretch between Narkatiaganj Junction and Amolwa (13 km) to be completed in March 2020 and by June 2020, up to Gawnaha station (23 km). The last section between Gawnaha and Bhikhna Thori (13 km) passes through dense forest and needs a special permit from the Forest Department allowing construction works. As of August 2019, the permit has not been given.[2] According to the Forest Department, Gawnaha – Bhikhna Thori section should be closed and the railway land transferred to them.[3]

gollark: Hmm, so you can do `require`ing without actually using the `require` function? It's neat, but I prefer my strings-as-lambdas.

gollark: No idea how that happened.

gollark: There was a `websocket.result` which appeared to act as `receive`.

gollark: I had to hastily swap potatOS over to using the evented API.

gollark: It seemed to be missing in one CCEmuX build.
