The Ahmedpur–Katwa narrow-gauge railway line connecting Ahmedpur and Katwa was established on 29 September 1917 by McLeod's Light Railways. Indian Railways took over the operation of this narrow-gauge railway from McLeod and Company in 1966. After closing the line in 2013, the railway section was converted into broad gauge. The conversion work started in 2013 and was completed in early 2017. The track, including Daskalgram railway station, was reopened to the public on 24 May 2018.
