History
In 1913, the Hooghly–Katwa Railway constructed a 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) wide broad gauge line from Bandel to Katwa, and the Barharwa–Azimganj–Katwa Railway constructed the 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) wide broad gauge Barharwa-Azimganj-Katwa Loop Line.[2][3] With the construction of the Farakka Barrage and opening of the railway bridge in 1971, the railway communication picture of this line were completely changed. Total 6 passenger trains stop at Ballalpur railway station.[4]

Which is... unfortunately pretty much the standard with the internet now.
