'''Joychandi Pahar Junction railway station''' (station code: '''JOC''') serves [[Adra, Purulia|Adra]] town and [[Raghunathpur, Purulia|Raghunathpur]] in [[Purulia district]] in the Indian state of [[West Bengal]]. It was named after the hill called [[Joychandi Pahar]] which is located between these two towns. <br />
Joychandipahar rail station is situated on the Asansol–Purulia–Sini main line section. In the year of 2014 it was redeveloped and made as an alternative station of Adra Junction to decongest Adra station from a huge passenger and freight traffic.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The [[Bengal Nagpur Railway]] was formed in 1887 for the purpose of upgrading the [[Nagpur Chhattisgarh Railway]] and then extending it via [[Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh|Bilaspur]] to {{stnlnk|Asansol}}, in order to develop a shorter Howrah–Mumbai route than the one via Allahabad.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://railwaysofraj.blogspot.in/2011/08/number-1-down-mail.html |title = Number 1 Down Mail| publisher= Railways of the Raj| access-date = 2013-02-05 }}</ref> The Bengal Nagpur Railway main line from Nagpur to {{stnlnk|Asansol}}, on the [[Howrah–Delhi main line]], was opened for goods traffic on 1 February 1891.<ref name=ser>{{cite web|url=http://www.ser.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?lang=0&id=0,1 |title=Major Events in the Formation of S.E.
