ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT - 2014-15 BRIEF HISTORY OF N.F. RAILWAY
The tea, oil and coal industries were set up in Upper Assam area around the 1860s and 70s. Transportation of the produce was by river routes down the Brahmaputra. A need was felt for construction of a Railway from the tea and oil producing centres in the hinterland to the river port at Dibrugarh. The Assam Railways and Trading Company Limited which was incorporated in July 1881, took up the task of construction of the first railway line - and the first Metre Gauge train in the Northeast region chugged from the river ghat in Dibrugarh to Jeypore road on 1st May 1882.
By February, 1884 the railway line had reached the coalfields of Margherita and by May, 1884 another line from Makum to Doomdooma was constructed. This network formed what was known as the Dibru Sadiya Railway (DSR).
About this time, an overseas market had been created for tea and jute, the principal products of Assam and Eastern Bengal. The Assam Bengal Railway (ABR) was formed in 1892 to connect the port of Chittagong by rail to upper Assam and provide an outlet for these products for the overseas markets. The railway also expected to pick up some of the already existing road traffic between Dhaka and Chittagong leading to the steady economic development of the area. The railway line from the port of Chittagong to Tinsukia (Makum) was constructed in three phases – from Chittagong to Badarpur with branch lines to Silchar and Laksham, from Badarpur to Lumding through the North Cachar Hills and in the third phase from Lumding further North to connect the DSR at Makum. The line from Lumding to Guwahati was constructed as a branch line to this alignment from Makum to Chittagong. The Chittagong-Badarpur section opened for traffic up to Badarpur on December 4, 1896 and was extended up to Silchar on November 8, 1898. It was for the first time that a part of the Northeast was rail-linked to the rest of India (with a river crossing between Chandpur and Goalundo).
1 NORTHEAST FRONTIER RAILWAY Besides the Dibru-Sadiya Railway (DSR) and Assam Bengal Railway (ABR), the Eastern Bengal Railway (EBR) was the third important constituent of the present N. F. Railway. These three Railways were merged during World War-II and came to be known as the Bengal Assam (BA) Railway. Thereafter, some of the company-owned railways viz, Bengal Dooars Railway, Jorhat Provincial Railway, Chaparmukh Silghat Railway, Katakhal Lalabazar Railway etc. were also merged with the Bengal Assam Railway system.
With the partition of India in August 1947, the Bengal Assam Railway was bifurcated according to the political boundaries leading to the formation of the Assam Railway with its headquarters at Pandu. In 1948, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) was taken over by the Government of India and merged with the Assam Railway.
The partition of India severed the links of the Assam Railway with the rest of the country, connected as the two were, till then, through the railway network in East Pakistan. For restoration of the link to the Assam Railway, the Assam Rail Link Project was taken up on top priority to provide the connection through the “chicken neck” corridor of North Bengal. This link was completed in January 1950.
The re-organization of the railway zones in 1951 led to the merger of the Assam Railway and Avadh Tirhut Railway and these two formed part of the North Eastern Railway with headquarters at Gorakhpur. The then North Eastern Railway thus extended right across northern India covering UP, Bihar, Bengal and Assam, from Bareilly to Tinsukia and Badarpur / Silchar.
The present day Northeast Frontier Railway was carved out of the North Eastern Railway and set up with its headquarters at Maligaon on 15th of January, 1958.

A cylindrical ferrule type liner of thickness like 0.5 to 1 mm was developed and used in yard which is successfully working.
66 ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT - 2014-15 1.2 Gauges for checking moulds for PSC BG line sleepers: No specific standard tool for measuring the defects in moulds for manufacturing of PSC BG line sleepers was available. Only various dimensions at different locations are given. The prevailing practice is to check the different dimensions by inserting go/no go measuring plates at various location, which was time consuming. A comprehensive gauge has been developed at CSP Mirza for checking the mould dimensions in one go of mould. This has resulted in improving quality of finished PSC sleepers. This has been extensively used and found to be very handy.
1.3 TWR by in situ flash butt welding
TWR by MFBW has been started in N. F. Railway and during the year, 1233 joints have been welded in situ. In stretches where this work has been executed, the work has been planned and executed in a way that all Thermit Welds, Defective/Wheel burnt Rails, Fishplated joint etc. have been eliminated. Simultaneously, SEJs/Glued joints etc have been renewed. A presentation was made at IRICEN/ Pune by CTE/NFR during CTEs Seminar. Further, Tenders for 19575 nos joints for TWR by FBW have been invited and are under finalization.
67 NORTHEAST FRONTIER RAILWAY 1.4 Rail Wheel Burns : At locations where Train engines stop and start, often rail table is damaged due to wheel slipping, resulting in wheel burns, causing pits upto 2mm/3mm depth at wheel contact. Trial have been made in one such location in SSE/P.Way section by grinding the wheel burn locations with rail profile grinder with proper ramping of depth of burn and obtaining near new rail finish.
1.5 Mechanical Workshop and Dangtal Colony in New Bongaigaon fall physically within the jurisdiction of Rangiya Division but being maintained partly by Alipurduar and partly by Rangiya Division. This was causing some managerial and maintenance problems. In order to have smooth functioning and proper maintenance, re-organization has been done and all assets at NBQ have been transferred to Rangiya division.
1.6 Web and SMS based system of complaint redressal for maintenance of quarters has been started at Katihar by Katihar division.
