The Assam Bengal Railway was a significant railway project in India, established in the late 19th century. It aimed to connect the northeastern region of India, particularly Assam, with the rest of the country, facilitating trade and transportation. The railway played a crucial role in the economic development of the region by improving access to markets and resources. In 1942, the Assam Bengal Railway was merged into the Eastern Railway zone, which is part of Indian Railways. This integration helped streamline operations and enhance connectivity across various states, including West Bengal and Assam. The legacy of the Assam Bengal Railway continues to influence the railway network in northeastern India today.
