'''Dhubri''' is the terminal railway station on the [[Fakiragram–Dhubri branch line]]. It also links to the New Cooch Behar–Golokganj branch line. A new line is being laid to connect Dhubri with Jogighopa. It is located on the west bank of the [[Brahmaputra River|Brahmaputra]] in [[Dhubri district]] in the Indian state of [[Assam]]. Important trains like [[Alipurduar–Silghat Town Rajya Rani Express]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=05418/Silghat Town - Alipurduar Rajya Rani Special|url=http://amp.indiarailinfo.com/train/-train-silghat-town-alipurduar-rajya-rani-special-05418/137944/9057/449|website=indiarailinfo.com}}</ref> [[Siliguri–Dhubri Intercity Express]]<ref>{{Cite web|title=Siliguri-Dhubri Intercity Express|url=https://indiarailinfo.com/train/-train-dhubri-intercity-express-15765xx/13867/445/449|website=indiarailinfo.com}}</ref> are available from Dhubri.

==Geography==
Dhubri district occupies the south-west corner of Assam. It borders on Bangladesh, and the Indian states of West Bengal and Meghalaya. The Brahmaputra divides the district into two parts. Tributaries of the Brahmaputra such as Gangadhar, Gaurang, Tipkai, Champamoti in the north and Jinjiram, Jinari and Kaloo in the south are all major contributors of floods in the area.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.dhubri.nic.in/ | title = Dhubri district at a glance | publisher = Dhubri district administration | accessdate = 11 May 2013 | archive-date = 12 May 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130512122951/http://dhubri.nic.in/ | url-status = dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://dhubri.gov.in/DMPLan1_Dhubri_Final_Approved.pdf |title = District Disaster Management Plan of Dhubri|publisher= Dhubri district administration | accessdate = 11 May 2013}}</ref>

==History==
The Fakiragram–Dhubri line was opened in September 2010 after conversion to {{Track gauge|5ft6in|lk=on}} [[broad gauge]]. Dhubri railway station had initially been opened in 1904. Flood waters had washed away the tracks in 1988. The {{convert|66|km|mi}} long line was ready after gauge conversion in 2010.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.telegraphindia.com/1100914/jsp/northeast/story_12931692.jsp| archive-url = https://archive.today/20130630094651/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1100914/jsp/northeast/story_12931692.jsp| url-status = dead| archive-date = 30 June 2013|title = Mamata flags off two trains- Dhubri-Kamakhya link after 22-year wait |work=The Telegraph|date=14 September 2010| accessdate = 11 May 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.telegraphindia.com/1100407/jsp/northeast/story_12303319.jsp | archive-url = https://archive.today/20130630095036/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1100407/jsp/northeast/story_12303319.jsp | url-status = dead | archive-date = 30 June 2013 |title = 23 yr wait for train to end soon |work=The Telegraph|date=7 April 2010| accessdate = 11 May 2013 }}</ref>

Up to the sixties there was a {{track gauge|1000mm}}-wide [[metre-gauge railway]] link from Cooch Behar to Dhubri via Golokganj. It was then known as the Assam Line Railway Service. It also connected East Pakistan, even after partition. However, collapse of the rail-cum-road bridge over the Gadadhar in the seventies ended that link. The bridge has been rebuilt and the track laid again as broad gauge.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.telegraphindia.com/1111229/jsp/northeast/story_14936704.jsp |archive-url= https://archive.today/20120913212105/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1111229/jsp/northeast/story_14936704.jsp |url-status= dead |archive-date= 13 September 2012 |title= Dhubri-Bengal Link Soon|work=The Telegraph|date=29 December 2011| accessdate= 11 May 2013 }}</ref> Dhubri-New Jalpaiguri Inter-city Express via Alipurduar Jn was introduced in February 2012.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.telegraphindia.com/1120212/jsp/northeast/story_15123443.jsp#.UYzeD0qDet8 | archive-url = https://archive.today/20130630094316/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1120212/jsp/northeast/story_15123443.jsp%23.UYzeD0qDet8 | url-status = dead | archive-date = 30 June 2013 |title = Two new trains flagged off|work=The Telegraph|date=12 February 2012| accessdate = 11 May 2013 }}</ref>
