Presenting some pictures from a recent trip to Princep Ghat, one of the 19 stations under the tutelage of the Kolkata Circular Railways...
The Kolkata Circular Railways starts at Dum Dum Junction as a single line and continues upto Majherhat. From Majherhat upto Ballygunge Junction this line shares track with the Budge-Budge-Sealdah section.
From Ballygunge upto Park-Circus this line goes in parallel with the Diamond-Harbour-Sealdah main line, from Park Circus onwards till Bidhan-nagar Road this line bypasses Sealdah Station and merges with the Sealdah-Naihati main line at...
more... Kankurganchi Jn cabin.
Thus this line starts and terminates at Dum Dum Junction.....
Princep Ghat serves it's namesake place in Kolkata. Princep Gate serves as a memorial for James Princep, and hence is a very popular place for the people to spend their time in the evening adjacent to the cool Ganges breeze!
PPGT and BBDB are major crossing points for local train criss-crossing in the opposing directions...
Oh, and Sealdah's sister terminal station Kolkata lies in this section and a lot people do use the services of the Circular rail (Chakra rail) to ferry in and out of Chitpur....
