History
Old narrow gauge Bankura–Damodar Railway (also called as Bankura Damodar River Railway) connecting Bankura and Rainagar in Bankura and Bardhaman districts was opened to traffic in sections between 1916–1917.[3] In 2005, the 118 kilometers long railway section known as Bankura–Masagram line was converted to 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge.[4] The whole track including Sonamukhi railway station was electrified in 2018–19.[5][6]
gollark: Labels would be *really* fast, though. Shame nobody caught onto those before modems.
gollark: Why ever not?
gollark: Labels work out as about 30 bytes per tick with efficient base 187 encoding.
gollark: Or bundled redstone. Adjacent computers can do 2 bytes per tick over bundled.
gollark: <@509348730156220427> I have some useless ideas I can't be bothered to make:- mesh networking- communication between adjacent computers by changing and reading labels very fast
