Rajshahi University Railway Station

It is a very small local rail station. It was established mainly for the students of Rajshahi University. I found the ticket selling booths closed even though a train stopped by for just a minute. However, in the evening hours, the place becomes crowded with people and students chatting over cups of tea.

In 1878, the railway route from Kolkata, then called Calcutta, to Siliguri was in two laps. The first lap was a 185 km journey along the Eastern Bengal State Railway from Calcutta Station (now Sealdah) to Damookdeah Ghat on the southern bank of the Padma River, then across the river in a ferry and the second lap of the journey. A 336 km metre gauge line of the North Bengal Railway linked Saraghat on the northern bank of the Padma to Siliguri.

It's a great place to have a alone time.
