The Goalundo-Narayanganj Extension was surveyed by the Eastern Bengal Railway(EBR) during the period 1894-98. The record states “the object of connecting Calcutta with the Assam-Bengal Railway” [1].
This line was not constructed; it involved crossing the River Ganges.
A further survey was undertaken in 1906 to connect this proposed line to the proposed Hajiganj-Shatnal Railway - see separate page [2].
This line also was not constructed.
Even today the railway stops at Goalundo Ghat Station, a short distance from the ferry terminal at Daulatdia crossing to Paturia on the opposite bank of the Ganges.
