Pachandi railway station is a railway station in Ahmadpur–Katwa line under Howrah railway division of Eastern Railway zone. It is situated at Pachandi of Purba Bardhaman district in the Indian state of West Bengal.

History

Ahmedpur–Katwa narrow-gauge railway line connecting Ahmedpur and Katwa was established on 29 September 1917 by McLeod's Light Railways. Indian Railways had taken over the operation of this narrow-gauge railway from McLeod and Company in 1966. After closing this track in 2013 the railway section was converted into 1,676 millimetres (5 feet 6.0 inches) broad gauge in 1917. The conversion work started in 2013 and was completed in early 2017. The track including Pachandi railway station was reopened for the public on 24 May 2018.
