Golokganj Railway Station
There is an old Railway-cum-Road bridge (unused) constructed by the British government in 1901 under the inspection of British Engineers. Golokganj railway station is situated in the heart of Golokganj town which was constructed before the East Bengal Partition of 1905 by the British. A newly resumed railway connection is constructed from Guwahati to West Bengal via this Golokganj town.

With the partition of India in 1947, railways in Assam got de-linked from that of the rest of India. Indian Railway took up the Assam Link Project in 1948 to build a metre gauge rail link between Fakiragram and Kishanganj. Fakiragram was connected to the Indian railway system in 1950.

Up to the sixties there was a railway link from Cooch Behar to Dhubri via Golokganj. It was then known as the Assam Line Railway Service. It also connected East Pakistan, even after partition. However, collapse of the rail-cum-road bridge over the Gadadhar in the seventies ended that link. The bridge has been rebuilt and the track laid again as broad gauge, entirely through Indian Territory. The line became operable in 2012.
