Anamitra, Where does the left line goes? Najmul

[anamitraghatak]

The left line goes to Kalyani Simanta Station. It is a single line electrified section, served by the Kalyani Simanta EMU locals.

Things were written about the festival. Could not read from a distance.

Seems Bangladesh Railways shares the same livery as Pakistan Railways on their trains ....

[anamitraghatak]

Should be the same rakes. These are pre-independence carriages of Bangaladesh.

@anamitraghatak it's called 'Uras' festival. Happens each year in Medinipur.

There is no rake swapping business. Maitree runs every week with once service using ER rake and one service using white BR rake. The train in this video is a special train that runs once a year with old BR stock.

@shumanjess Bangladeshi rakes are in white, Indian rakes for the same train is in blue like a reg train. They swap rakes every 4 months.....

Can you in form when the video was shot , This train in video may be a special train some time arranged for visiting religious gathering in Ajmer , Bardhaman , Because regular train of Bangladesh is Green with yellow line , Now Maitree express running between Kokata and Dhaka is White , We think in future most intercity train n Bangladesh will be in White colour .

nice video ! good sharp horn of WAG5 and nice livery of East Pakistan coaches

[rdhinakar]

Is this train shot in Indian territory and Bangladesh Railways too using Pakistani railways colours in their coaches. I heard Bangladesh is not having any Electric Tractions can any one clear these doubts.
