Consequent to the construction of the Jamuna Bridge in 1998, there was reassessment of the requirements of the railways. First, a new dual gauge line was to be constructed from Joydebpur to Jamtoil, to connect the eastern part of the Bangladesh railway system to the western part. The problem of two different gauges in two different parts of the country was solved by introducing dual gauge. Second, a length of broad gauge track from Jamtoil to parbatipur was to be converted to dual gauge. This made Joydebpur, a dual gauge railway station.
