Three Railfans Bappa Pal, Souro and Avishek Basu, on 15th October 2012, undertook a Trip along the ruins and relics of now extinct Shantipur Jn - Krishnanagar City Jn – Nabadwipghat NG connectivity. We started from Shantipur, amid NG bogies and turnstiles. BG track came up on erstwhile NG track alignment on Shantipur Jn - Krishnanagar City Jn stretch. Thereafter, work is going on. The erstwhile Nabadwipghat Terminal, complete with all the infrastructure and logistics that you usually expect in any big station, stands on a vast area amid lush greenery, shrubs and large trees where work is yet to start. It looks like a biosphere – with mongoose, dogs, goats, hens, butterflies, lizards and quite a few varieties of birds. Read the Trip Report
