The station was built and opened in 1891 by the Bengal Nagpur Railway . 1969–70 the line was electrified.
geology
Coal was accidentally discovered when the Bengal-Nagpur Railway was building the bridge over the Ib River in 1900. The first coal mine in the Ib Valley Coalfield , ( s ) comprises an area of 1,375 square kilometers, in 1909 by the Himgir Rampur Coal Company drilled . Other underground mining - mines were operated by private operators until the nationalization of the coal industry in the 1973rd With the nationalization came the age of opencast mining. Ib Valley Coalfield operates three open pit mines: the Lajkura Opencast Mine, the Samleswari Opencast Mine and the Lilari Opencast Mine. Field production rose sharply from 0.55 million tons in 1972–73 to 15.51 million tons in 2002–2003.
The construction of the nearby 52 km long Jharsuguda – Barpali railway is very important for the transportation of coal from the Ib Valley Coalfield with a potential of 90 million tons per year. Mahanadi Coalfields Limited ( en ) will fund this project.
According to the Geological Survey of India , the Talcher Coalfield has reserves of 38.65 billion tons, the highest in India. Ib Valley Coalfield has reserves of 22.3 billion tons, the third highest in India. It is part of the large Gondwana Basin, which extends over several districts in neighboring Chhattisgarh.
Culture
It is believed that in prehistoric times the river inspired several tribal groups from the area of today's Chhattisgarh and Odisha to permanently settle on its banks. There are also several folkloric mentions about the mythological significance of the river Ib.
