History
On 1 December 1915, McLeod's Light Railways (MLR) set up narrow gauge lines in the Burdwan-Katwa Railway route. This railway section was handed over to the Eastern Railway in 1966. In 2010 the work started for conversion of 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge.[4][5] Bardhaman to Balogna railway station was reopened in 2014 and Balgona to Katwa section was completed on 12 January 2018 for the public.[6]

gollark: I'm going to make it a distributed system, so it's kind of important.

gollark: Yes; each socket no longer gets its own ID (they were useless) and I'm using collision-resistant message IDs.
