Barharwa Junction (Hindi: बरहरवा जंक्शन) is a railway station on the Sahibganj Loop and is located in Sahibganj District in the Indian state of Jharkhand.

History

The Howrah-Delhi main line was initially laid via Sahibganj and opened to traffic in 1866. Later, in 1871 the Raniganj-Kiul line was laid. The Khana-Sahibganj-Kiul section was renamed Sahibganj Loop.

In 1913, the Barharwa-Azimganj-Katwa Railway constructed the Barharwa-Azimganj-Katwa Loop Line.

The 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) long Barharwa-New Farakka link was established later, allowing trains from both Howrah and Delhi to travel to New Jalpaiguri.
