Radhikapur is a railway station in Uttar Dinajpur district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is a defunct rail transit system on the India-Bangladesh border and is an India-Bangladesh land border checkpoint.
Assam Behar State Railway extended the metre gauge railway from Parbatipur, now in Bangladesh, to Katihar in 1889. In 1948-50, as a part of the Assam Rail Link project, the Fakiragram-Kishanganj sector was connected to the North Eastern Railway network at Barsoi. The railway lines in the area started being converted to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge from the early 1960s. The Barsoi-Radhikapur sector was converted to broad gauge in 2006.
It is a defunct rail transit point on the India-Bangladesh border. The corresponding station on the Bangladesh side is Biral in Dinajpur District. The transit facility in the Radhikapur-Birol sector has remained suspended since 1 April 2005. The railway track on the Indian side has been converted to broad gauge (as per Project Unigauge) while that on the Bangladesh side continues to remain metre gauge.
