The station is very nicely decorated. Many express and superfast trains are available here to go to Burdwan or Howrah or Sealdah. There is a bus stand in front of the station to go to various places..

A small station on the howrah asansol route. Clean platform and passenger amenities are available.

Inside Location from main road but near to stop. Ac class waiting room locked if you want to open contact with station master otherwise wait in normal area.

I liked the art of this station a lot. It reminded me of Hogwarts from Harry potter movie. A huge section of the station is entirely covered with shade which is very rare among stations unless they are headquarters. The station looks very clean and maintained. Raniganj as I've always read was famous for coal mines and yes you'll find loads of coal loaded upon goods trains around here.

Raniganj is a railway station on the Bardhaman-Asansol section. It is located in Asansol, Paschim Bardhaman district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It lies in the heart of Raniganj Coalfield and serves the neighbourhood of Raniganj in Asansol, and the surrounding mining-industrial area of Asansol. The entire belt between Durgapur (158 km from Howrah), and all the way up to Dhanbad and beyond is industrialized. Apart from factories, there are many coalmines, some closed now, and some with fires burning deep in the mineshafts. The mining area extends for a large area, mostly to the south of the tracks. Quite a portion of the track passes through cuttings, where the surrounding area is higher than the track level, resulting in the profusion of characteristic small masonry bridges crossing the tracks."

Good only this is industry area
