CIRCULAR RAILWAYS

Category: By ANIRBAN CHATTERJIE

10.15 AM – Completed a long pending work at HDFC Bank (Gillinder House)

10.33 AM – took a Circular Railway train from BBD Bag Railway Station to Dumdum, speaking of Circular Railways (for those who don’t know of its existence and for those who heard of it but unfortunately never travelled) I advice to take a ride. It’s an experience of a new kind, one you may not feel in your hustle bustle of your daily routine. A train ride just beside the River Hooghly.

Patipukur, Kolkata, Tala, Bag Bazar, Sova Bazar Ahiritola, Burra Bazar, BBD Bag, Eden Gardens, Princep Ghat, Khidirpur, etc. Yes if you didn’t know there are rail stations by these names.

For your reference:

* Patipukur – Rizwanur’s body were found here. * Tala Tank – RG Kar Hospital and * Kolkata Station - * Burra Bazar – through the godowns of Kolkata’s big market. * Beneath the Howrah Bridge and Hooghly Sety (yes actually right under it!) * Khidderpore Dock (you may catch a view of Ship making and repairing. * Elevated Bridge after Khidderpore (the curve is awesome and the view breathtaking)

My advice is taking a 3.36 pm Down Naihati Majherhat from Barrackpore which crosses Dumdum at 4.00 PM to reach Majherhat at 5. PM via the Circular Railways route (or Anti-Clockwise route). The timing is just perfect for you to enjoy the sunset by the River Hooghly. I used to particularly enjoy this one with …..
