An abandoned narrow gauge NJJR engine at Janakpur
HistoryEdit
Constructed as second railway line in Nepal of narrow gauge 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) in 1937. The line was Named Nepal Janakpur Jaynagar Railway (NJJR). Initially it was used by Britishers to carry timber from the then heavily forested areas of Janakpur in the Kingdom of Nepal to Jainagar (India).[11][12] When all the timber in the area cut, the station was opened for the passenger. Soon Nepalese villagers around Janakpur found it handy for commuting to their local town and go to India. [13] Janakpur being the birth place of Sita, is a holy and popular pilgrimage destination for lots of travelers within Nepal and India. So Indian visitors also started to visit Janakpur by this train line. The train service on this line was halted in 2014 to convert it into broad gauge.[14]
