'''Deoghar Junction railway station''' (station code '''DGHR''') is the main railway station serving the city of [[Deoghar]] in [[Deoghar district]], [[Jharkhand]].<ref>{{cite web| url=https://indiarailinfo.com/departures/9604?| title=DGHR/Deoghar Junction| website=India Rail Info}}</ref><ref>[http://www.assamtribune.com/scripts/detailsnew.asp?id=jul0718/oth050 Agartala-Deoghar Express flagged off]</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.prabhatkhabar.com/news/devgarh/story/1208021.html |title=Guwahati-Devghar demands the initiative to provide train facilities daily |newspaper=Prabhatkhabar |location=India |access-date= 10 November 2018 }}</ref>

==Further extension==
The railways have proposed a Jasidih–bypass line after construction of which trains from {{stnlnk|Bhagalpur}} and {{stnlnk|Dumka}} can run up to {{stnlnk|Asansol}} and {{stnlnk|Dhanbad}} without loco reversal at {{stnlnk|Jasidih}}, also saving considerable time for the passengers. Deoghar is being developed as a major halt station to decongest {{stnlnk|Jasidih}} and avoid a delay of more than 30 minutes for an engine change at {{stnlnk|Jasidih}}.

The {{convert|97|km||adj=on|abbr=}}-long Jasidih–Hansdiha–Pirpainti line is under construction. As of March 2021, work is under progress on Mohanpur–Hansdiha and Godda–Pirpainti sections. Hansdiha–Godda section has been completed and a proposal for [[Humsafar Express]] from Godda to New Delhi is under consideration. This line is considered important to connect the [[Godda district]] in the [[Santhal Pargana division]] of [[Jharkhand]] with the rest of India. The {{convert|80|km||adj=on|abbr=}} Godda–Pakur line is also planned [https://www.jagran.com/jharkhand/godda-new-train-start-for-godda-on-poreyahat-hansdiha-railway-root-of-indian-railways-19588779.html]
