A small colonial goods yard exist at KMZ during the early 1950s. To keep pace with industrial development of the country, setting up of Bhiali & Rourkela Steel Plants and the discovery of huge stock of coal in central coalfields it was becoming necessary that infra structural facilities of quicker transportation should be developed. With this view, in mind, the Railway Board in 1956 decided to go in for construction of a Marshalling Yard in New Katni Junction at an estimated cost of Rs. 90 Lac. A huge Marshalling Yard complex was constructed between river Simraul & Bimraul and the same was opened for traffic in the morning of 19 January 1961.
