History

Old Pahleja ghat station was operational till 1982. Prior to Mahatma Gandhi Setu opening in 1982, there was regular Steamer service of the Indian Railways between Mahendru Ghat in Patna end and Pahleja Ghat in Sonpur. There was old narrow gauge line between Pahleja station and Sonepur station. The station was not in use and was left abandoned after opening of Mahatma Gandhi Setu. It was restarted on 3 February 2016. The station was earlier named Pahlejaghat Junction, but after protest from the villagers of Bharpura, it was renamed to Bharpura Pahlejaghat Junction in July 2016. In the 2016 Floods in Bihar, this station worked as relief center for flood victims.
