History

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.[2] The route was electrified in several phases. In 2005, Howrah-Chennai route was completely electrified.[3]

gollark: I mean you're writing more code than necessary for that. More detailed error messages are probably good.
gollark: That... is basically what verbose means?
gollark: This is verbose and loses information, yes.
gollark: I'm not saying C programs will immediately explode and segfault and erase all your data if a file doesn't exist or something. I'm saying that manually propagating error codes, which seems to be the general approach to error handling (outside of just immediately `exit`ing or `longjmp`y things), is verbose and bad.
gollark: What?
