Howrah railway station (also known asHowrah Junction) is arailway station located in the city ofHowrah,West Bengal,India.[8] It is the largest and busiest railway complex in India,[9][10][11][12] as well as one of thebusiest andlargest train stations in the world.[13][14] It is also the oldest surviving railway complex in India. Howrah is one of the five large intercity railway stations serving theKolkata metropolitan area, the others beingSealdah,Santragachi,Shalimar andKolkata railway station.

The first public train from the station was on 15 August 1854, on what is now the Howrah – Hooghly Main Line.[15] At present[when?], about 600 passenger trains pass through the station, serving more than 1 million passengers a day.[16][17][15] Utilising its 22 operational platforms, the station handles a total of 252 Mail/Express trains and 500 suburbanEMU trains daily;[18] ten of the platforms are long enough to cater to trains with more than 24 coaches.[19] Goods and parcel trains also originate and terminate here.[19] TheHowrah–Barddhaman main line is the busiest line that connects this station.[20]

History

[edit]

In 1849, a contract was signed between theEast Indian Railway Company andEast India Company and an initial amount allocated for the first section between Howrah andRaneegunge (Raniganj) viaPandooah (Pandua, Hooghly) andBurdwan (Bardhaman).[21]Frederick Walter Simms, the consulting engineer to Government of India, initially envisaged a station on the right side ofHooghly in 1846. However, after the funds were sanctioned, Howrah was chosen as the terminus for the new line.[22] A bridge spanning 1,700 feet (520 m) across theHooghly River was considered unfeasible at the time.[23] In the following years, discussions frequently arose about connecting the rail line to Calcutta.[23]

On 17 June 1851,George Turnbull, the Chief Engineer of theEast Indian Railway Company and his team of engineers submitted plans for a railway station at Howrah. Unaware of the future significance of railways in India, the government decided against purchasing the land and expensive waterfront required for the project in January 1852. Turnbull then developed alternative development plans that estimated the cost at 250,000rupees. In October 1852, four tenders for the building of the station were received: they varied from 190,000 to 274,526 rupees.[24][25] The size of the construction project - of whether Howrah should be a large station or Howrah be a smaller station in favour of a larger station being developed at another time - was debated from time to time during this process.[26] Eventually land was bought.[26]

The first experimental locomotive left Howrah on18 June 1853[citation needed] for the 37.5 miles toPandoah.[24][25] There was a gap between laying the line and opening it up since the ship carrying the carriages sank while the locomotive ended up in Australia. Eventually the carriages were built locally and the locomotive was directed to Calcutta.[27] The first public departure from Howrah for the 23.5 miles toHooghly was on 15 August 1854.[28] During this period, the station was located at what is now the office of the divisional railway manager of Howrah.[29] It consisted of one line and platform, a ticket window and a supporting building.[15] Two weeks later the line toPundoah was opened.[28] In the first 4 months, over 109,000 passengers used the service.[28] The locomotive was of the same type as theFairy Queen.[30]

Indians on their way to European colonies in the early 1800s came through the Howrah Station.[31]

The increase of residents in the region around Howrah and Kolkata and the booming economy lead to an increasing demand for rail travel. Also, the rail network kept on growing continuously, e.g. was the bridge over theRupnarayan River atKolaghat completed on 19 April 1900 and connected Howrah with Kharagpur.[32] The Bengal-Nagpur Railway was extended to Howrah in 1900, thus making Howrah an important railway centre.[33] So in 1901, a new station building was proposed. The British architectHalsey Ricardo designed the new station.[33] It was opened to the public on 1 December 1905,[33][34] and completed by 1911.[29]

In the 1980s, the station was expanded to 15 platforms.[35] At the same time, a newYatri Niwas (transit passenger facility) was built south of the original station frontage.

The new terminal complex was finished in 1992, creating a total of 19 platforms.[35] This was extended by a further four platforms in 2009.[35]

On 3 March 1969, the inauguralRajdhani Express departed Howrah forNew Delhi.[36][35] In October 2011, India's first double-decker train,Howrah–Dhanbad Double Decker Express, left Howrah forDhanbad.[37] The first service of theAntyodaya Express, theHowrah–Ernakulam Antyodaya Express, was inaugurated in February 2017.[38]

As perIndian Green Building Council[when?], it was awarded CII-IGBC Silver Rating becoming the first green railway station amongmetropolitan cities in India.[39][40][41]

The bookVibrant Edifice: The Saga of Howrah Station by Eastern Railways was released in 2005.[42] This was written to celebrate the centenary of the building.

Tram terminus, Howrah

[edit]

Until 1992, there was a tram terminus at Howrah Station. Trams departed forSealdah Station,Rajabazar,Shyambazar,High Court,Dalhousie Square,Park Circus,Ballygunge,Tollygunge etc. Trams also departed for Bandhaghat andShibpur.

Remains of Shibpur bound tram tracks under remains of Buckland bridge

The tram terminus was partially closed in 1971 while the Bandhaghat and Shibpur lines were closed. Many unauthorized vehicles and pedestrians began to traverse the tram tracks and so the routes were not continued. The terminus station was converted to underpasses and a bus terminus. The part of the tram terminus for other routes continued to function until 1992, when the Rabindra Setu (Howrah Bridge) was declared unfit to carry trams because it was a cantilever bridge.

Heritage museum

[edit]

The nearbyRail Museum, Howrah was opened in 2006, and contains a section dedicated to the heritage and history of Howrah railway station.[43] The railway museum, located south of the station, displays artefacts of historical importance related to the development of Eastern Railway. From 1909 to 1943 theFairy Queen, the world's oldest operational steam locomotive, was displayed on a plinth inside the station.[44][30]

There are also mail and express trains to Central, North and North-East India. Anarrow-gauge line formerly used to connect Bardhaman and Katwa, served byDMU trains; but now this line is also converted tobroad gauge and used byEMU trains like all the other lines.[45]

The Eastern Railway and South Eastern Railway sections are connected by two links. One is the Lilua–Tikiapara link (used only by goods train) and the other is the Rajchandrapur/Dankuni–Santragachhi/Andul link, which is used by goods trains and some express trains avoiding Howrah.

Four major rail routes end at Howrah. They are the Howrah–Delhi, Howrah–Mumbai, Howrah–Chennai and Howrah–Guwahati routes.

Once completed Platform No. 1 of Howrah Station "Terminal 1" will measure a staggering 1,296 metres (4,252 ft) in length & become the 3rd Longest railway Platform in India & in the World. Indian Railways are also constructing Platform No. 16 in "Terminal 1" and Platform No. 24 and 25 in "Terminal 2" as envisioned to expand this railway junction.[46]

There is a large covered waiting area between the main complex and the platforms and other areas for passengers awaiting connecting trains.
