Presenting some pictures from a recent trip to Princep Ghat, one of the 19 stations under the tutelage of the Kolkata Circular Railways...
The Kolkata Circular Railways starts at Dum Dum Junction as a single line and continues upto Majherhat. From Majherhat upto Ballygunge Junction this line shares track with the Budge-Budge-Sealdah section.

Kankurganchi Jn cabin.
Thus this line starts and terminates at Dum Dum Junction.....
Princep Ghat serves it's namesake place in Kolkata. Princep Gate serves as a memorial for James Princep, and hence is a very popular place for the people to spend their time in the evening adjacent to the cool Ganges breeze!
PPGT and BBDB are major crossing points for local train criss-crossing in the opposing directions...
Oh, and Sealdah's sister terminal station Kolkata lies in this section and a lot people do use the services of the Circular rail (Chakra rail) to ferry in and out of Chitpur....

Kalighat happens to be a place in South Calcutta famous for it's Kali temple.
The metro station has been named after it's namesake place, something that is not usually found in Kolkata Metro.
However I am definitely curious as to why New Alipore station would be named as Kalighat!
