It is located on the west bank of the Brahmaputra in Dhubri district in the Indian state of Assam. Important trains like Alipurduar–Silghat Town Rajya Rani Express, Siliguri–Dhubri Intercity Express are available from Dhubri. It lies under Alipurduar railway division of Northeast Frontier Railway zone. 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. History. The Fakiragram–Dhubri line was opened in September 2010 after conversion to broad gauge. Dhubri railway station had initially been opened in 1904. Flood waters had washed away the tracks in 1988. The long line was ready after gauge conversion in 2010. Up to the sixties there was a -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. Dhubri-New Jalpaiguri Inter-city Express via Alipurduar Jn was introduced in February 2012.
