Haldibari Alipurduar TEESTA TORSHA Express crosses immensely beautiful SAMPREETI SETU over the Ganges!!
Video link : click here
It was one fine morning that yours truly and Gaurav Sharma decided to explore the 130+ years old JUBILEE BRIDGE, and the new SAMPREETI SETU. And out of sheer madness and adrenaline rush, we decided to cross the entire bridge on foot, not once but twice. And icing on the cake was spotting the rumbling trains crossing the Holy Ganges.

by 16505 BWN WDM- 3A, the 13141 Sealdah (SDAH)- New Alipurduar (NOQ)/ Haldibari (HDB) TEESTA TORSHA Express takes a curve, gently climbs the immensely beautiful looking SAMPREETI SETU, crosses the same and accelerates past me towards Bandel Junction.
Also watch Kolkata Gorakhpur PURVANCHAL Express cross the same bridge:

Teesta Torsha Express with a classic old WDM-2:

The train is named after two rivers, namely Teesta (Tista) and Torsha, and is by far the worst train to travel between South and North Bengal. It takes almost 18 hours to transverse the 700 odd kms at an average speed of 40 km/hr, and follows the slow Sealdah- Naihati- Bandel- Katwa- Azimganj- New Farakka- Malda Town- Barsoi- Kishanganj- New Jalpaiguri- Raninagar Jalpaiguri route. After that, the New Alipurduar portion follows the Dhupguri- New Cooch Behar- New Alipurduar route, whereas the Haldibari portion follows the Jalpaiguri- Haldibari route.
