Kalimati: A small station and a big vision
It is about the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. In 1907, when the Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO) was established to implement the vision of the great visionary Jamsetji Nasarwanji Tata, the area was known as Sakchi.
How did 'TATANAGAR' be named?
Stoppage of trains running from Howrah to Nagpur started
Talking about passenger services, trains running from Howrah to Nagpur and Bombay (Mumbai) started stopping here. Initially there were only a few platforms, but as Tata Steel and other industries around it expanded (such as Tata Motors), Tatanagar station was also modernized.
The construction of Tatanagar station was a challenge at that time, as the area was surrounded by dense forests and hills. The architecture of the old main building of the station still reflects the British era. Gradually, new railway lines were laid from here leading to Kharagpur, Ranchi, Chaibasa and Badampahar, making it a 'junction'.
More than a hundred trains pass through Tatanagar every day.
Today Tatanagar Junction is an A-1 category station. More than 100 passenger trains pass through it every day and it is directly connected to major metropolitan cities of India such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai.
It has modern waiting rooms, escalators and world class facilities. This station is now the main center of Chakradharpur railway division of South Eastern Railway.
The history of Tatanagar Junction is the story of the progress of Jamshedpur. This station not only takes the passengers to their destination, but also presents the pride of India's 'Steel City' to the world.
