Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Amenities 3 Services 4 Siliguri loco shed 5 References 6 External links 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 . 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. Siliguri Junction has three two - bedded retiring rooms and a four - bedded dormitory . Distance from Siliguri Junction : Bagdogra Airport 14 km , New Jalpaiguri railway station 8 km , Darjeeling 80 km , Gangtok 120 km , Thimphu 350 km .
