East Indian Railway Company started construction of a line out of Howrah for the proposed link with Delhi via Rajmahal and Mirzapur in 1851.[2]
The first passenger train in eastern India ran from Howrah to Hooghly on 15 August 1854. The track was extended to Raniganj by 1855.[2]
ElectrificationEdit
Electrification of Howrah–Burdwan main line was completed with 25 kV AC overhead system in 1958.[3] The Howrah–Sheoraphuli–Tarakeswar line was electrified in 1957–58.[4]
The Railway Carriage and Wagon Workshop was established by East Indian Railway Company at Howrah and shifted to the present location at Liluah in 1900. The workshop is spread over an area of 299,000 sq m and has a staff strength of 9,990. The workshop is primarily engaged in overhauling of coaches. There is a captive township adjacent to the workshop. The roads of the "railway colony" were named after British engineers and continue to bear them.[6][7]
On 14 December 2014 the 12381 UP Howrah–New Delhi Poorva Express derailed at 8.27 am after leaving Howrah at 8.15 am.[8] Eleven sleeper coaches and a pantry car (AC Hot Buffet Car) of the New Delhi-bound Poorva Express derailed at Liluah shortly after leaving Howrah station. There was no casualty or injury to any passenger. The train was moving at a slow speed when it derailed. "The Poorva Express" was moving at 10 to 15 km/h when the accident occurred.
