History[edit]
With the railway routes badly disturbed by the partition of India in 1947, Siliguri Town railway station suddenly lost its pre-eminence, as the broad gauge link to Calcutta, running across East Pakistan, was lost. With three metre gauge lines, the new Siliguri Junction railway station became the main railway station in the area. The three metre gauge lines were linked to Kishanganj and Barsoi, Assam and Haldibari. The narrow gauge Darjeeling Himalayan Railway was there. The short reign was over in the 1960s when a new broad gauge line linked Siliguri with Calcutta, and subsequently, all railway lines in the area (excepting Darjeeling Himalayan Railway) were converted to broad gauge. The focus shifted in 1961 to a brand new broad gauge station at New Jalpaiguri.[1]
Amenities[edit]
Amenities at Siliguri Junction include: Waiting room, retiring room, tourist information centre, and book stall. West Bengal Tourist Office and Tenzing Norgay central bus terminal are located close to the railway station.[2]Siliguri Junction has three two-bedded retiring rooms and a four-bedded dormitory.[3]
Distance from Siliguri Junction: Bagdogra Airport 14 km, New Jalpaiguri railway station 8 km, Darjeeling 80 km, Gangtok 120 km, Thimphu 350 km.[2]

Siliguri loco shed[edit]
A metre gauge diesel loco shed was established at Siliguri in 1961 and a new broad gauge diesel loco shed was established in 2007. WDP-4 and WDG-4 locos were transferred from Hubli. It is home to the WDP-4 loco "Baaz". It also houses YDM-4 and WDM 3A locos.[4][5]
