History

Ahmedpur–Katwa narrow gauge railway line connecting Ahmedpur and Katwa was established on 29 September 1917 by McLeod's Light Railways. Indian Railways had taken over the operation of this narrow gauge railway from McLeod and Company in 1966.[4] After closing this track in 2013 the railway section was converted into 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge in 1917.[5] The conversion work started in 2013 and was completed in early 2017. The track including Daskalgram railway station was reopened for the public on 24 May 2018.[6]

gollark: You probably can do it, but I don't know how.
gollark: Oh. Hmm. Chrome OS is really pretty terrible for programming-type things, because it is locked down and not much of a "general purpose" thing.
gollark: Install python or something on your computer (I'm assuming you have a laptop or desktop or something), and an editor like Notepad++, and find a python tutorial.
