==History and Culture== On his great escape from the British, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose caught the 17 January 1941 Howrah-Kalka Mail, then known as the 63UP Howrah-Peshawar Express, from Gomoh. There is a statue of Netaji between platforms no. 1 & 2 at the Gomoh railway station reminding people of his historic visit. Every year on 23 January, the railway employees and the people of the town organize a small cultural program to celebrate Netaji's birthday.
