Gauge conversion
Presently services are suspended on Narkatiaganj–Bhikhna Thori branch line since 2015, as it is undergoing gauge conversion, from metre to Template:RailGauge broad gauge. It is expected that the first stretch between Template:Stnlnk and Amolwa (13 km) to be completed in March 2020 and by June 2020, up to Template:Stnlnk station (23 km). The last section between Gawnaha and Bhikhna Thori (13 km) passes through dense forest and needs a special permit from the Forest Department allowing construction works. As of August 2019, the permit has not been given.[2] According to the Forest Department, Gawnaha – Bhikhna Thori section should be closed and the railway land transferred to them.[3]
