Gomoh railway station was renamed as Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Gomoh railway station in 2009, in honour of Indian freedom fighter and leader Netaji's long journey in Netaji Express (previously known as Kalka Mail) from Gomoh Railway Station out of the British Empire in 1941.[1][2]
Historyedit

Later, the line was amalgamated with East Indian Railway.[4] The construction of the 143-kilometre (89 mi) long Chandrapura–Muri–Ranchi–Hatia line started in 1957 and was completed in 1961.[5]
The Dhanbad–Gomoh sector was electrified in 1960−61.[7]
