    one small correction, Howrah was electrified in DC Current in late 1950s when WCM series locos were borrowed from CR, DC EMUs ran between Howrah & Barddhaman & Tarakeshwar, later in early 1960s AC Current was made uniform & EMUs started running on Howrah-Kharagpur, Howrah Barddhaman via Chord, WAM 2/3 locos from ER was used & WAM 1 from SER was used in 1960s.
    Also Shalimar was built as a yard in 1900s.

    Fun Fact: There is no Platform 16 in Howrah Railway Station..😅😅😅 Platform 1 to 15 in Old Complex and 17 to 23 in New Complex
    4:34 there was no direct rail connectivity between Kolkata and Dhaka up until 2005. Before that people have to take a Broad Gauge train from Sealdah to Goulanda Ghat via Ranaghat Jn, Pordaha Jn & Kushtia. Then it was a steamer ride on Padma/Ganga river all the way to Narayanganj and then from there a Metre gauge train to Dhaka from where you can take a Metre gauge train to either Mymensingh, Sylhet, Chittagong or Silchar

    Howrah bridge is still the sixth longest cantilever bridge in the entire world, the longest cantilever bridge in India by a significant margin.
