The Jiribam rail ink was a part of rail link to Assam for tea transportation in the early 20th century. It was constructed by Assam Bengal Railway. With the partition of India in 1947, portions of the Bengal Assam Railway which lay in Assam and the Indian part of North Bengal became Assam Railway. North Eastern Railway  was formed in 1952 by amalgamating Assam Railway with Oudh and Tirhut Railway and the Fatehgarh district of Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway. Northeast Frontier Railway was formed out of North Eastern Railway in 1958. The portion of the system which fell within the boundary of East Pakistan was named as Eastern Bengal Railway. On 1 February 1961, Eastern Bengal Railway was renamed as Pakistan Railway and in 1962 it became Pakistan Eastern Railway. With the emergence of Bangladesh, it became Bangladesh Railway. After the independence of Pakistan on 15 August 1947 the broad-gauge portion of the Bengal-Assam Railway, lying in India was added to the East Indian Railway and the metre-gauge portion became the Assam Railway, with its headquarters at Pandu. On 14 April 1952, the 2857 km long Assam Railway and the Oudh and Tirhut Railway were amalgamated to form one of the six newly formed zones of the Indian Railways: the North Eastern Railway zone. On the same day, the reorganized Sealdah division of the Bengal Assam Railway (which was added to the East Indian Railway earlier) was amalgamated with the Eastern Railway. In December 2009, work on gauge conversion from Silchar to Jiribam started which was finished in early 2016 and goods services resumed. Train services
