The Muzaffarpur–Gorakhpur line via Narkatiaganj and Motihari is a railway line connecting Muzaffarpur in the Indian state of Bihar to Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh. The 309.720 km (192 mi) line passes through the plains of North Bihar and the Gangetic Plain of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

Speed limit

[edit]

The "Muzaffarpur–Gorakhpur line via Motihari" route is not an A-Class line of Indian Railways. So the maximum speed is restricted to 110 km/h as there is a single BG electrified line between Muzaffarpur Junction and Gorakhpur Junction.[citation needed]

There are 50 stations between Muzaffarpur Junction and Gorakhpur Junction.

Future

[edit]

The foundation stone of doubling of railway line and electrification was laid by the hon'ble Prime Minister Modi on his trip to Motihari on the centenary celebration of the Champaran Satyagrah in 2018. Modi flags off train, kick-starts track doubling, dedicates loco unit to nation in Bihar. The doubling work survey for Muzaffarpur–Gorakhpur main line was sanctioned in the Railway Budget of 2012–13.[1]

The East Central Railway zone also applied for the electrification of the following sections to the Ministry of Railways (India) for the Rail Budget 2015–16.[2][3]
