Corps of Guides, Punjab Frontier Force

Also known as '''The Guides'''.

The object of the '''Corps of Guides''', composed of horse cavalry and foot soldiers, was to provide trustworthy men to act as guides to troops in the field, and also to collect intelligence beyond as well as within the [[North West Frontier Province|North-West Frontier]] of India. The regiment was located at [[Mardan]] on the [[Peshawar]] border and became one of the most famous in the Indian army. The Corps of Guides were the first soldiers in either the British or Indian Armies to wear Khaki - which derives from the Indian word for dust.

'''Mîrzâ Muhammad Sirâj-ud-Daulah (1733-1757)''' was Nawab of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. He resented the increasing power of the British in Bengal and attempted to drive them out by capturing [[Loss of Calcutta 1756|Calcutta]]. He was defeated at the [[Battle of Plassey]] following which he was captured by Mir jafar's troops and executed.

It was a joint-stock company that was granted an English Royal Charter on December 31, 1600 by Elizabeth I.

'''Coorg Forest Tramway and Railway Survey'''

[[Coorg]] is a district in Karnataka, later became known as Kodagu, meaning ‘dense forest on a steep hill’ and is a densly forested hill station at the southern end of the Western Ghats in Karnataka <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodagu_district Wikipedia " Kodagu District"]; Retrieved 18 Jul 2016</ref>.

== Coorg Forest Tramway==
A 2ft/610mm narrow gauge([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]]) forest tramway, with a length of 12 miles(19km)from Sollekolli Platform to Kunnoth, was constructed by the [[Madras Presidency]] [[Public Works Department]] between 1918 and 1923. An additional 2 miles(3.2km) of pole tramway was used in the forests for extraction to the main tramway. The records show the supply in 1920 of a locomotive and rail for a tramway extension from Makut to Kannotte. Damage occurred to the track in 1923 and 1924, the line was repaired but there is no evidence that the line was ever used for the serious extraction of timber after this date. In 1932 it was reported that all tramway materials had been removed <ref name =darvill>“Industrial Railways and Locomotives of India and South Asia” compliled by Simon Darvill. Published by ‘The Industrial Railway Society’ 2013. ISBN 978 1 901556 82-7. Available at http://irsshop.co.uk/India. Reference: Entry KA18 page ....</ref>.

==Coorg Forest Railway Survey==
The [[Railway Board]] authorised in 1920 a survey to be carried out by Major E P Anderson R.E. , an Engineer from State Railways and known as the ‘Coorg Forest Railway Reconnaissance Survey ‘ <ref name=pioneer>[https://books.google.fr/books?id=3h5DAQAAIAAJ&pg=RA13-PA45&lpg=RA13-PA45&dq=Bombay-Sind+Connection+Railway&source=bl&ots=mqWvKuOygi&sig=1nLDrzfXI4eT4SvrvSWSDg2bUPg&hl=fr&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjDl_bVqPjNAhXEnRoKHVWQBXIQ6AEIHzAA#v=onepage&q=Bombay-Sind%20Connection%20Railway&f=false "Pioneer Mail and Indian Weekly News", Volume 47, 8 October 1920, page 45]; Retrieved 18 Jul 2016</ref>.

The proposal was for a line from ‘Laldevanhalli along the Latchman Tirtha valley to Sidapur, with a branch from Hebbalenhole to Nagerhole, a total distance of about 50 miles’ <ref name=pioneer/> .

The project was not taken up and no railway was constructed in this environmentally rich forested area.

Amingaon-Pandu Train Ferry

2017-02-25T08:26:27Z

Nik:

'''Amingaon-Pandu Train Ferry''' was the [[Eastern Bengal Railway]] (EBR) operation of Rail transhipment by ferry crossing the Brahmaputra River between Amingaon and Pandu Ghat.

This ferry formed part of EBR’s [[Gauhati Branch Railway]] a metre gauge([[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) line of 147 miles (235km) and connected the EBR main line at Golakganj to the ferry terminus at Amingaoan. From Pandu Ghat terminus the short [[Pandu Ghat-Gauhati Railway]] connected to the [[Assam-Bengal Railway]](ABR) at Gauhati

It was only in 1962 that the Saraighat Bridge replaced the ferry service, this is post independence and beyond the scope of this page.
