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: Probably. I don't aim for this, and I expect it to be more accurate than the limited public information. I could probably correct ubq if they still care.
gollark: I mean, excluding stuff like private personal details, which we don't deal with.
gollark: Because I think people having information is better than them not having it.
