Very
good
&
nice
place.
Longest
Railway
🚂
junction
in
Bangladesh.
From
1878,
the
railway
route
from
Kolkata,
then
called
Calcutta,
to
Siliguri
was
in
two
laps.
The
first
lap
was
a
185
km
journey
along
the
Eastern
Bengal
State
Railway
from
Calcutta
Station
(later
renamed
Sealdah)
to
Damookdeah
Ghat
on
the
southern
bank
of
the
Padma
River,
then
across
the
river
in
a
ferry
and
the
second
lap
of
the
journey.
A
336
km
metre
gauge
line
of
the
North
Bengal
Railway
linked
Saraghat
on
the
northern
bank
of
the
Padma
to
Siliguri.
It
was
during
this
period
that
Iswardi
came
up
as
a
railway
station.
