In between 1893 and 1896 the East Coast State Railway constructed Howrah-Chennai main line. Kharagpur-Puri branch was finally opened for public in 1901.[3] The route was electrified in several phases. In 2005, Howrah-Chennai route was completely electrified.[4]

gollark: (I plan to maybe switch over to an RK3588 SBC of some kind when they come out though. Basically the same performance on way less power. Very impressive.)

gollark: In general.
gollark: A few weeks ago someone on Hackaday apparently had a VAST quantity of batteryless Windows tablets and I wanted some of them for things, but nooooooo, it costs *money* to ship things.
gollark: It annoys me how there are frequently cool free things in places I'm not.
