    one small correction, Howrah was electrified in DC Current in late 1950s when WCM series locos were borrowed from CR, DC EMUs ran between Howrah & Barddhaman & Tarakeshwar, later in early 1960s AC Current was made uniform & EMUs started running on Howrah-Kharagpur, Howrah Barddhaman via Chord, WAM 2/3 locos from ER was used & WAM 1 from SER was used in 1960s.
    Also Shalimar was built as a yard in 1900s.

    Kolkata is served by 5 major stations Howrah, Sealdah, Santragachi, Shalimar, Kolkata(Chitpur), other stations are local railway stations serving the local people of the city and people from nearby districts.

    Fun Fact: There is no Platform 16 in Howrah Railway Station..😅😅😅 Platform 1 to 15 in Old Complex and 17 to 23 in New Complex
    4:34 there was no direct rail connectivity between Kolkata and Dhaka up until 2005. Before that people have to take a Broad Gauge train from Sealdah to Goulanda Ghat via Ranaghat Jn, Pordaha Jn & Kushtia. Then it was a steamer ride on Padma/Ganga river all the way to Narayanganj and then from there a Metre gauge train to Dhaka from where you can take a Metre gauge train to either Mymensingh, Sylhet, Chittagong or Silchar

Amsterdam has globally known cycling culture, including for the rich. These places can do that because they have great public transport. America doesn't have that, so they are kinda forced to use cars. For us, European countries should be a role model, not American ones.
