History

[edit]

Sealdah-Hasnabad Railway constructed a 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) narrow-gauge line in 1914 as a part of Martin's Light Railways.[1] The line was closed in 1955.[2]

The 33.06 km (21 mi)-long 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge Sealdah–Hasnabad line was constructed between 1957 and 1962.[3]

Rolling stock

[edit]

Eastern Railway has some WDM-2D locos, which is used on the Sealdah–Hasnabad route amongst others. They were used to haul 8 coach push-pull DEMU trains way back till the complete line was electrified. The DEMU trains had two cabs at either end to control the train. But now they are no longer in use. They have been replaced by BHEL and Jessop EMU rakes, which are currently stabled in Barasat EMU shed. Doubling of this line has been started since 2016.
