History

Dobhi Railway Station (DHE) has a history spanning over 120 years, evolving from a small branch line stop into a modernized station on a key electrified route.

Establishment and Early Era Opening: The station was officially opened on March 21, 1904. Original Operator: It was established by the Bengal and North Western Railway (BNWR) as part of the new Aunrihar–Kerakat–Jaunpur route. Metre Gauge Beginnings: At its inception, the line used metre-gauge (1,000 mm) tracks, typical for regional branch lines of that era intended to connect agricultural and trade hubs. Historical Significance: During the Quit India Movement (1942), the station was among several in the Jaunpur district that were targeted and damaged by revolutionaries protesting British rule.

Modernization and Expansion Gauge Conversion (2010–2011): The entire Aunrihar–Kerakat–Jaunpur section was converted from metre-gauge to broad-gauge (1,676 mm). During this period, the station was rebuilt to accommodate modern trains. Electrification (2019): The single-line section passing through Dobhi was fully electrified in March 2019, allowing for faster electric locomotives and MEMU services. Doubling (2021–2022): Work to double the tracks was completed in phases, with the Aunrihar to Dobhi section finished in October 2021 and the Dobhi to Kerakat section completed in April 2022. Infrastructure Upgrades: The station currently features 3 platforms and 4 tracks, a significant increase from its original small-halt status.
