Deoghar Junction Railway Station (station code DGHR) is the main railway station serving the city of Deoghar in Deoghar district, Jharkhand.^[1][2][3]

Further extension

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

The 97-kilometre (60 mi)-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 80-kilometre (50 mi) Godda–Pakur line is also planned [1]
