BLAST FROM THE PAST!!
EAST BENGAL RAILWAY MAP 1911

So many things changed!!
For ex: Trains from Guwahati to Delhi used to run via Parbatipur(Bangladesh), Raiganj, Barsoi Katihar😱😱 from north bank of Brahmaputra river.
...
more...


South Bank of Brahmaputra was used for Other trains to Northeast

Siliguri, Kishanganj, Alipurduar, Coochbehar were terminals. only few trains originated from these.

Siliguri Calcutta line passing through Malda, Lalgola, Azimganj & few areas of Bangladesh. Siliguri line used to cut from Ranaghat.

An alternative line was made from Howrah to Delhi via Nalhati, Pakur, Barharwa, Bhagalpur , Jamalpur, Patna , Ara , Buxar, Mughalsarai

WHOLE EAST INDIA WAS METRE GAUGE, BROAD GAUGE AVAILABLE ONLY FROM HOWRAH TO GAYA😱😱🤯🤯
