Q. When was the Purulia-Ranchi railroad started?
Answer: 1907
Notes: The Purulia-Ranchi narrow-gauge railway line, part of the Bengal-Nagpur Railway, opened in November 1907 connecting Ranchi to India's railway network. Ranchi Junction's history records November 1907 as the starting date for the Purulia-Ranchi line. The line used a 2ft 6in narrow gauge. The year 1911 marks an extension of the line to Lohardaga, not its origin. There are no records indicating 1905 or 1909 as the railway's start year.
